Scofflaw

Scofflaw's garden patio feels like stumbling upon a secret botanical retreat in the middle of the city. The gin-focused cocktail menu is the star here—their Old Tom concoctions are particularly sublime, especially when savored under string lights as evening sets in. While tourists have discovered this gem (expect a wait on weekends), the heated outdoor space remains worth the patience. The full food menu punches above its weight, with the fresh-baked cookies that appear at midnight becoming something of a neighborhood legend. Street parking can be a minor headache, but after a perfectly balanced Amaro Sour amid the lush greenery, you'll forget the circling you did to get here. Come for the expertly crafted drinks, stay for the cozy outdoor atmosphere that somehow makes even tourists feel like locals.
