Madam Bonnie’s

Madam Bonnies is named for the notorious Bertha “Bonnie” White, who ran a brothel in the historic Hotel Lester building from the 1920s through the 1940s. Elegantly decked out with exposed brick, sleek banquettes, and three massive, colored glass chandeliers, the space is well-suited to everything from ladies’ night to a romantic tête-à-tête. The cocktail program showcases spirit-forward drinks, light and fruity refreshers, mocktails, wines by the glass or bottle, and a daily selection of beer. Happy hour deals include everything from $5 well shots to $12 Padres Manhattans, Tuesday through Saturday from 4:30 to 6 pm.
