You might have trouble finding this little gem in Union Square, but all your patience will pay off once you reach Backbar. Pass through dark alleys, enter an unnamed door to reach this bar where the walls are all graffiti-clad. Specials written on a chalk board in this dimly-lit bar will give you an industrial-esque yet modern feel. The bar menu is expansive and if you are unable to decide, leave it to the bartender to get the perfect drink that your taste buds desired. Head to Backbar to have an experience worth-remembering.
