In this endearingly dark little room in the corner of Krog Street Market, Greg Best and Paul Calvert—two of the city’s most ingenious bartenders—mix and stir and shake and dazzle; their concise cocktail list is reason enough to endure the weekend wait. But even those drinks can’t upstage executive chef David Bies’s nostalgia-inducing menu—including the city’s best clam roll, best steak tartare, and best Cobb salad. That’s a lot of bests, and we have one more biggie: best brunch, at which you’ll find a similarly clever high-low mix. 99 Krog Street, 404-458-4534, ticonderogaclub.com
