Nestled in the middle of the Downtown warehouse district, this cozy underground speakeasy offers a uniquely sultry ambience. With virtuoso bartenders serving a staggering drink selection, DuMont’s finds a delicate balance between sophistication and easygoing warmth. Drop in for their incredible happy hour for $7 (or less!) cocktails, and you may also run into the ghost of Blanche DuMont – a brothel owner during the 19th century who staff and patrons alike claim to have encountered still roaming among the barrel-lined walls.
