This circus-themed bar is replete with a big-top mural, a '60s British rock soundtrack and coasters that read, simply, "YES." According to our bartender, Round Heels ($13) refers to "loose women" who get drunk and end up on their backs. Oblique? Yes. Risqué? Maybe. A great cocktail? No doubt. Shaking vanilla-scented Banks rum with honey, lemon juice, pineapple juice and torn mint leaves results in a heady cocktail.
