Williams & Graham is a cocktail bar on Tejon Street in LoHi that enters through a fake bookshop — the door at the back of a shelf of leatherbound volumes opens onto a room built for the serious business of drinking well. The conceit is executed without irony: the speakeasy entrance leads to a proper bar programme of historically informed cocktails, a considered spirits selection, and a room that takes the mid-century American bar seriously as a form. Open from 5pm; arrive before 8 to get a seat without waiting.
