Formerly known as the Little Cave, Highland Park's dive-turned-Mexican-cocktail-den has been morphed into La Cuevita. The theme here is Día de Los Muertos, where skulls, skeletons and upside-down bats unapologetically grace mescal and tequila-lined shelves. The slightly kitschy, multi-room space feels like a dark and moody movie set—a haze of streetlight permeate the stained-glass windows, while dim amber bulbs emanate from wrought iron chandeliers. After a couple potent mescal margaritas, you'll begin to wonder if a hidden back door leads to an Aztec temple for a Tarantino-style beheading.
