Located just above the acclaimed Nutmeg & Clove, sister bar Last Word is named after the Prohibition-era classic cocktail. The minimal, almost nondescript interiors mean the focus stays squarely on the precisely-made drinks, including the bar’s namesake tipple and a surprisingly elegant Bloody Mary, elevated with wasabi and fresh tomato. If you get peckish, there’s a curation of Japanese plates that run the gamut from tuna poke with yuzu kosho lime dressing to a succulent Wagyu steak. Oh, try to come during Happy Hour – the oden is complimentary then.
