Expert Tip. The Coq d'Or lounge bar on street level of The Drake Hotel was one of the first bars to open after Prohibition. Today, the red leather-padded booths and dark, low-ceilings embody a speakeasy atmosphere. The hotel is a place for daily live piano music and specialty martinis. Open until 2 a.m., Coq d'Or also serves wine and beer.
