On the top floor of a century-old urban firehouse is a refuge from the humdrum banality of ordinary life — a lush, laidback lounge bathed in rich hues of earth and fire, soulful vibes and playful, era-bending opulence. Virtuoso artisans who know their Sazerac, also riff inventive, improvisational libations that give goosebumps to taste buds and fuel delicious conversation among an ever-changing cast of colorful characters. This is a sanctuary of indulgence, where sounds of relaxed revelry and raucous laughter spill out onto the rooftop patio and drift into the open city sky. Welcome to Second Story.
