Bernie's is tucked away inside Preston Tower down a dim corridor with no signage announcing it's even there (none that we saw, anyway), but a visit here plays out like a trip back in time. Bernie's gives speakeasy vibes. The decor is vintage art deco, the atmosphere is classy and the playlist offers the likes of Kenny Loggins, Stevie Nicks, Patti Austin and Quincy Jones. Bernie’s unapologetically skews to a slightly older crowd, which we're here for — a place where the phone doesn't eat first. The bartenders are pros, and the drinks are stiff. You really can’t go wrong with whatever you order, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t recommend the beautifully smoky and oh-so-smooth old fashioned.
