Casa Mezcal

This three-floor ode to Oaxacan culture features a top level art gallery, subterranean cinema/music venue, and a street level festive mescaleria strewn with multicolored lights and a bar adorned with Mexican miscellany including...a stuffed turkey! Tipples are highlighted by a swath of mezcals (both plugged into cocktails and also served straight with traditional garnishes like mint, lime, or basil), while authentic dishes'll include 20 different stews plus more esoteric offerings like cheese-and-spice-dusted fried grasshopper -- order them for the table and don't be surprised if you hear crickets.
