Finch & Fork’s Winter Chalet

They had me at caviar.

Theming their special bar offerings around an après-ski Winter Chalet experience, Finch & Fork at the Kimpton Canary Hotel’s Cocktails & Bar Bites is a delightful mélange of cozy comforts and elegant treats. Case in point: the aforementioned caviar, served with crème fraîche, house kettle chips, and chicharrones (kind of like the high-low clothing trend, but with food), which paired beautifully with their Alpine Negroni, made with Hendrick’s gin, Punt e Mes sweet vermouth, Campari, Braulio amaro, and its very own little Christmas tree — a touch of Douglas fir.
