Description
A dark den of glamorous drinking where cocktails summon the same refreshing, subtropical flavors you’ll find next door at elder sibling Stateside, but dial up the technique by a factor of 10. Bar snacks are similarly beautiful adventures, like the Malaysian spiral-cut chicken curry puffs, a labor-intensive spectacle of pork-fat-laminated dough. Sometimes you have to queue up outside for a seat; though Foreign National isn't a pretentious mixology shrine—just one of the most memorable bars in town, in a room with just 28 seats.
