The Peninsula's Shanghai-style jazz lounge, which Roger liked for live jazz, attentive service and a dim, date-friendly Art Deco room, though he found the cocktails overpriced and inconsistent outside the whiskey list.

“Grab a drink, soak in the music and relax!”
Roger's pick over Ned Kelly's for a dark, intimate live-jazz date spot in TST, styled after old-school Shanghai jazz bars. He praised the attentive service and the whiskey-based drinks specifically, but said the steep-priced cocktails otherwise weren't well mixed. Guessed sourceUrl — no matching Yelp business page could be confirmed for this now-closed Peninsula lounge.
A speakeasy-themed Koreatown cocktail bar next door to Ramen Burger, where Roger found well-handcrafted whiskey cocktails but a packed, smoky patio and a crowd he called more K-Town than typical speakeasy hipster.
