Owner Juliet Pries focused on every detail to lend a 1930s parlor feel to the space. A vintage soda fountain and marble counter was hauled back from Michigan, the comprehensive menu is packed with old-time treats like egg creams and sassafras floats, and it's hard not to love getting your drinks slung by a "soda jerk" in uniform - we're talking starched white clothes, black bow ties and old-fashioned white hats.

Inside, it’s a cross between an oversized, wood-paneled Airstream and a post-war Woolworth lunch counter—complete with art deco glass blocks, black tiles and vintage lamps.

Head back to the best seats: the stools at the original 1930s marble counter. Here you’ll have easy access to the ex-Rickhouse barman, who’ll advise you about which of the 75 homemade syrups and tinctures he could turn into custom sodas.
