In Cincinnati, Ohio, there is a retro bar that celebrates these bygone eras with themed cocktails and disco decor.

In addition to its unique decor, HomeMakers boasts a menu of nontraditional spirits and cocktails featuring lesser-known liqueurs like Italian bittersweet tinctures, herbal and fortified wines, and low-proof libations.

HomeMakers also hosts events that let guests play mixologist. The Gin and Tonic Bar, for example, features a “build your own” set-up with various topics and garnishes, letting each person craft their own bespoke cocktail.

HomeMakers also serves light bites like tacos, crudités and dip (with Ritz crackers, because, the ’70s), and even sandwiches. This is the BBQ sandwich, made with a homemade Dr. Pepper barbecue sauce and served with a fresh slaw.

A cocktail bar is, of course, about delicious libations. But it’s also about the craft of the drinks, and the celebratory, communal experience of imbibing.
