Keep the evening downtown

The Mandarin Hide is an option for a cocktail-focused evening in the downtown Central Avenue cluster. If dinner is the first part of the plan, nearby downtown wine restaurants are a different category of stop rather than substitutes for the same experience. Compare menus and your intended arrival time before choosing a sequence.

Choose from the current cocktail menu

Use the official cocktail menu to identify the spirits and flavors you want. A classic name, a seasonal house drink, and an alcohol-free request can involve different ingredients and availability. If the party has specific requirements, confirm them with the bar before committing the whole group.
