Ghost Donkey

Mezcal and tequila fans, Ghost Donkey is your utopia. Boasting a lengthy menu of both agave-based spirits, this Mexico-inspired bar balances a darkly lit space with a canopy of string lights overhead, making for a kiss-of-disco party feel. Grab a bar seat or sit back and chill at any of the cozy booths on the perimeter. The food menu is succinct and made with snacking in mind — think nachos, tacos, queso fundido, and chips and salsa. But, it’s really all about the 10 or so featured cocktails, all focused on tequila or mezcal, of course. Unlike its Vegas counterpart that, in true speakeasy style, requires a little search to find, this location has an entrance on a busy stretch of Second Street and is sandwiched between its showier sister restaurants Cham Pang Lanes and Palma. Just look for the humble door with the donkey on it, walk on in, raise a glass and say “Salud!”
