Restaurants with good Cocktail Programs
I've definitely become caught up in this "cocktail revival" that has been taking place over the last few years. I've been to the notable cocktail bars/lounges in Manhattan and I'm hooked.
My question/request is this: Can anyone help come up with a list of restaurants(not bars or lounges with food) that are "cocktail proficient"? Are there any restaurants that can play on the same level as a Flatiron Lounge, or a Pegu Club, or a Milk and Honey? Are there any restaurants you can think of with knowledgable/conscientious bartenders with a large repertoire and a little creativity? Any restaurants with a sophisticated cocktail list?
I'll kick off the list with:
Prune
Tailor(this is an obvious one)

I believe Freeman's is also known for their cocktails but it's next to impossible to get in (no reservations, 2 hour wait lists every night).
I'm currently a bit of a sidecar fiend and the best ones I've had have been at Balthazar (really!) and the bar at Jean Georges.
