Editors’ Choice: Best After-Work Drinks
After-work drinks are a time-honoured tradition. And when we’re able to nab a table (or a coveted bar seat) at Como Taperia, it goes from “just” drinks to a moment worthy of everything from resetting a stressful day to a celebratory toast. Any one of the six G&Ts on the menu is an ideal way to say cheers to finishing a work project, but we’re also partial to the Spanish vermut on tap (which also has the effect of making you feel truly in-the-know about what’s “in” in the current beverage scene). Post-work drinks aren’t complete without an array of snacks, and from the rotating bar-side pintxos to the must-order fried eggplant with honey and rosemary, Como knocks it out of the park every single time.
