Now here’s a bar without a bar. MakeShift Bar is adventurously un-barlike; there is no conventional bar counter and no bar stool in sight. During the daytime it’s a brunch restaurant and coffee hatch. By night, the space transforms into the new MakeShift Bar, where you watch bartenders crafting cocktails in the picture window and […]
