Whether sought out as a date location or a post-date rendezvous point to debrief with your friends, there's a conspiratorial air about the cocktail bar that's downright irresistible.The only hang-up comes when the cocktail bar in question is too sleek and chic (read: uptight) to actually allow you to have fun.Lonely Diner, the latest venture from a team of notable mixologists, bar managers and restaurateurs, though, blows the lid off the hoity-toity cocktail bar stereotype, opting instead for something that'll feel comfortable and familiar, while still undeniably stylish.In Lonely Diner, you can expect a vibe akin to a cozy, wood-panelled 1970s basement, b...
