SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO call the audible, cancel the next meetup, ask the sitter to stay late, and get your friends to come to you, because you've found the place with an energy so perfect exactly what you were looking for on that day, in that moment that, really, could anything go up from here? More bars these days seem to be a complete package, like a nightlife one-stop shop. They can be a club if you want-you know, the kind you dance in. They can be the place where you order a bottle of Champagne and endless oysters. They can be a jazz lounge. They can be the place where you think you've stumbled on a garage party attended by the city's coolest people (in a city you didn't know had cool people). They can be that dimly lit vault where you and everyone else become someone else. Bars have always been that third place, the spot where you hang outside work and home. But as we've discovered crisscrossing the country over the past twelve months to visit the new bars, they're doing that in more nuanced and varied ways than they have in a long time. It's not just about the drinks. Then again, it's never just about the drinks.
