VERY IMPORTANT LOCATION NOTE: Danico is located INSIDE of the highly rated pizza joint, DAROCO. You will find the cocktail bar by entering the restaurant and then going all the way to othe back. I wish the reviews had included this note earlier since we did end up wandering around the vicinity for 20 minutes trying to find signage with "Danico" ha! Worth the extra walking to work off the soon to be consumed carbs and cocktails that night....
You MUST bring your tushy to this cocktail bar. Holy bajeezes. The bar and restaurant were both poppin' on a Friday night. My friend found Danico through Yelp of course and decided to come here for drinks before dinner. Unfortunately, but not really, we ended up staying here for dinner and never made it to our next destination spot ha!
The ambiance is just too gorgoues and is perfectly lit and the bartenders here are PHENOMENAL and are super innovative with making new drinks year long round. The menu changes time to time and all the drinks are equally fabulous and made with the finesse of a professional that goes beyond just years of practicing. I swear the drinks were one of the BEST I've ever had. There must be some magic spell and unicorns in the back kitchen making a special potion to add to each drink.
I ordered the #2 "I Quit" which was a mezcal, sherry, agave & habanero drink. This would probably blow a man's mind out of the world, but unfortunately, the drink was way too manly and strong for me (tasted more like bourbon/cognac) so I had to quit on this drink half way. BUT it was good for what it's worth. I just don't know how to order drinks keke
So onto drink dos! I got the #1 "Hao Neeo Mamuang" after much consultation with the server (Gailee- who was the nicest French person we've ever met!), who claimed that this was a refreshing "girly" drink. OMG. This was so so so so bomb. Think of a refreshing, blooming flower, with a serene breeze and aqua blue water in the background when youd rink this. It was so dang good. And there were chia seeds in it I LOVE CHIA SEEDS! Healthy in oatmeal and in a cocktail!
My friend got the Pacman too which was soooo sooo gooddddd. I was so jealous of her drink while I was sipping on my "I Quit" thinking why I didn't pick the cute names/pictured drinks instead.
We also ordered the Focaccia bread which was so utterly satisfying. We devoured the fluffy cheesy warm bread and unfortuntaely lost our appetite for dinner during normal dining hours (don't worry we made it up with ubereats at the hotel).
Such a special place for cocktails. I would recommend eating pizza at Daroco since it smelled amazing and then heading over to the back for some good night drinks. What a great find! OUI OUI! read more
