BOYS TO MEN AWARD FOR BEST GROWN-UP DRINKING Elixir
Sure, technically Boystown is populated with full-grown men. But historically, these men drank like college kids, downing light beers and Jäger shots. It wasn’t entirely their fault—a classy, well-made cocktail was a hard thing to find in a Boystown bar.
