» Downing Street Pub

This premier cigar lounge caters to cigar lovers and hard-nosed drinkers.

Cigars are common, and the joy of smoking a fine one is exceeded only by that of sipping on a 15-year-old Highland scotch. Beautiful, rich mahogany cocktail tables with raised ashtray holders surround the 400-foot walk-in humidor. Photos and a statue of Winston Churchill drive home the British-centric theme.

A knowledge of British politics (10 Downing Street is the residence of the prime minister) will help when attempting to elbow your way into a conversation with the prominent crowd of politicians and businessmen. When most people are settling into work, patrons here are enjoying the generous happy hour, which begins at 10am. Too early for scotch? Try a pint of Chimay. This Belgian trappist contains eight percent alcohol.

Specialty shot: Distilled the year NATO was formed, the Macallan 50-year scotch costs a whopping $300 a shot and $4,000 a bottle.

For $400 a year, management will store your cigars in a locker in the bar's humidor.

Rat Pack martini Mondays means $4 vodka martinis.
