We assume that you want to drink with Christina Hendricks, because...why wouldn't you? She's smart, she's hot, and according to Men's Health, she likes to drink scotch.

The speak-easy style bar, which is located at the back of Cole's restaurant, was opened in 2009 by Sasha Petraske, who also runs New York's Milk and Honey.
