Jules Basement
M.N. ROY’s sister speakeasy-style bar is hidden behind a fridge door in the basement of the hip cantina La Surtidora. The sleek, black-and-white interiors are also courtesy of French architecture and design collaborative Chic by Accident (glass tables with white skull bases, black walls) and make for a great place to sip a cocktail while listening to live jazz music or blues- and-funk-inspired tunes spun by the resident DJ. Reservations are highly recommended.
