Protected by a closely guarded password that you can only obtain by asking for it at connected Wondrous Azian Kitchen, Thom Pham's DJ-fueled lounge has just reopened with bright red decor reminiscent of a '40s-style nightclub, craft cocktails like the Gin Sour with caramelized Chartreuse, and the windowless vibe of a "Shanghai Speakeasy", though anyone who's ever attempted to pronounce Mandarin's diphthongs knows that's a lie.
