El Dorado Cocktail Lounge : 15 Romolo – San Francisco
The Parallels: Behind the bar at both, El Dorado Cocktail Lounge and 15 Romolo, you won’t find your run of the mill bartender: These men and women are craft-ologists- like mad scientists on a whiskey binge – mixing, stirring, muddling, and shaking their potions until they become libations of hand-crafted perfection.
The Dress-code behind the bar: Prohibition-meets-hipster-street-chic. Swarming the bar, you’ll find an eclectic mix of individuals: Students, middle-class, business-class, musicians, fashionistas, artists, scenesters, and hipsters: You certainly won’t be bored watching the serious characters come through the door.
From eerily similar dim-lit neon signage, their pretty dodgy locales- just off (respectively) Broadway Avenue-and that NYC mindset- inside and out-there is very little differentiation between these two dirt-covered diamonds.
