Su Casa Bar

Perched above a Qdoba on Sixth Avenue, the minimally marked (on the exterior) but impressively designed (on the interior) Su Casa Bar slings signature Mexican-leaning cocktails, like the crazy-hot El Diablo (habañero peppers, Tabasco and tequila), as well as a light menu of Mexican snacks in its warm and eclectically decorated digs—evocative of a "1960s Mexican speakeasy," according to Steve Salis, one of the bar's principals. Two huge windows overlook a prime people-watching stretch of Sixth Avenue, while the inside is an interesting mix of south-of-the-border liveliness and secret-lounge glossiness, which combine to pack in the youngish boozehounds. Oh, and an unexpected highlight is the bathroom, where speakers blast Spanish music and the walls are plastered in pages from gossip magazines. Catch up on your escándalos.
