Mon Cirque Wine Bar is basically what would happen if a circus and a Parisian lounge had a baby and raised it on good wine. You don’t just go here for a drink, you go for the show. Even if the performers are chandeliers, velvet couches, and a bartender who mixes cocktails smoother than a ringmaster’s intro.

It was most impressive witnessing her greet each guest in a personal matter. This is definitely a must on my list each time I return...
