No. 88 North America ranking
World’s 50 Best North America ranked Hecate No. 88 in 2026, while Top 500 Bars placed it No. 366 in 2025. That gives the bar external recognition without relying on a single list.
Emerald Tablet and lounge seating
Emerald Tablet, Snake Oil, Dragon Gate, and Hagalaz anchor the cocktail list, alongside a craft-cocktail focus. Seated bar and lounge seating suit a planned, conversation-led stop.
