Arbella

If you didn't know, now you know. The first impression of Arbella is its impressive double-story mural that draws you into a contemporary speakeasy. The exploration continues with a progressive cocktail menu inspired by global travels created collectively by the team led by Managing Partner Joe Doose. The menu has evolved over the past six years with the addition of a "Traveling Old Fashioned" category. Find yourself in Manila when sipping Tita Nina, a clarified milk punch with essences of ube and coconut. The small but mighty kitchen helmed by Executive Chef Matt Ayala (Cochon Volant, Evette's) pairs the bar team's cocktails with his take on popular street food. Complete the Manila experience with Chicharrones, massive pork rinds with an addicting chili-cilantro vinegar dipping sauce, or perhaps keep it domestic with a hearty beef smash burger with Arbella's Secret Sauce. Weekends welcome local and international D.J.s next door in their extended music space.
