LA BANDIDA

a falta de un amor, un bandido por favor

Fourteen drinks.
Wanted.

A cocktail bar in River North. Vintage interior, candlelit. The drinks change with the season and never with the trend.

La Bandida.
Reposado, hibiscus, smoke.

The drink the bar was built around. Order it once. Order it again. Printed on the menu in the same spot every month.

iii. the loft

Downstairs you find your way.
Upstairs, someone finds it for you.

The loft above the bar. Tables with servers, standing room when the tables are full. Reserve to have a table waiting. Walk in when there's space.

Steinway & Sons upright piano, brass nameplate above worn keys

iv. the alibi

Midnight gossips.
Piano older than us.

No remorse. The conversations are the alibi.

The hideout list.

Off-menu nights. New drinks. Occasional trouble.
