The Argyle

Slip downstairs from Markette and you’ll find a polished Chelsea cocktail lounge with a marble bar, patterned banquettes, and a touch of tropical ease. The drinks lean playful and contemporary, with clever flavor combinations that still feel grown up. Come hungry, too: the snack menu nods to Caribbean comfort, from salt cod fritters to a jerk short rib sandwich. It’s an easy pick when you want strong cocktails and a stylish room that doesn’t try too hard.
