Heartbreaker

Overview

This CBD watering hole might come from the same crew behind globally renowned cocktail destination The Everleigh, but the two are absolute worlds apart. Wild child Heartbreaker is an American-style dive bar through and through, oozing cool-kid attitude and promising good times aplenty. We're talking red neon signs, black leather booths, a pool table and a jukebox chock full of old-school rock 'n' roll. With a 3am closing time Thursday through Saturday, no less.

Refreshment options include a solid slew of both local and US craft beers, with a tidy tap rotation serving up plenty of hits from the likes of Hop Nation, Grifter, Philter and Stomping Ground. The fridge is a goldmine, too, starring the likes of Mountain Culture's Double Red IPA ($18) and The Mill's Mosaic Pale Ale ($11).

A strong selection of whisky, mezcal and tequila is primed for rocking nights out, while the cocktail lineup showcases the full range of Everleigh Bottling Co batched sips — from famed classics like the negroni ($21) and martini ($21), to sparkling creations like the gin-infused Fruit Cup ($18).
