    Why go

    Bar Benjamin is worth booking when the priority is a serious cocktail list in an intimate upstairs Melrose room. The draw is the menu structure: savory drinks, martini variations, bright high-acid builds, and a full zero-proof section, backed by snacks substantial enough to stretch the night.
