Shuttering its beloved Southeast location, St. Jack has come roaring back with a much larger venue on NW 23rd—and an accompanying bar to match its critically lauded restaurant. The fancy new digs are a nice match for the bustle of the avenue, and a great place to get a high-quality drink away from the lotharios and lothariettes that can often populate the establishment across the street. Cocktails like Cameron's Kick (made with Jameson, Chivas, lemon, orgeat, nutmeg) show off the skills and theatricality of bartenders who know how to shake and muddle, while producing a fresh, lively, fruity drink that abhors girlishness. Rest assured, one will pay for this quality, and the din of the restaurant will overwhelm quiet convos—but if you want to impress a date or your palate, St. Jack's is a solid go-to choice. WM.
