Mood Ring
Description
Serving astrology-themed cocktails from a bar backlit by teal LEDs, this Bushwick lounge brings cosmic ’70s vibes into the Instagram age. Co-owners Bowen Goh and Vanessa Li show their enthusiasm for the zodiac with sign-based drink specials that change with the astrological calendar (the Scorpio edition, the Sting, mixes ancho chili liqueur, mezcal and Campari), a galaxy-inspired marble bar top and a tarot card mural across the back wall. Hong Kong cinema also influences the space: Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love contributes to the wallpaper and moody lighting choices, and there’s a bourbon-and-bitters cocktail named for the film’s lead, Tony Leung. Head here to find refuge in mixed drinks (or shots), velvety booths and the welcoming glow of neon next time Mercury is in retrograde.
