One of Esquire's 21 Best Bars in America for 2018

Congratulations to Brothers and Sisters (but everyone knows lists like these are a load of baloney, right?)

Of course. But relevant for the fact that it probably shows that the bar (and other spots) inside The Line probably won't be cooling off in the near future. Hype is hype, baloney or otherwise.

(I haven't been to The Line and don't have a take, though I do like other offerings by their food and drink proprietors)

Absolutely relevant, which is why I separated my reply into a distal thread that will do no harm - I wish nothing but the best for Brothers and Sisters. But I was at The Passenger last Friday night, and can't help thinking, 'Why one, and not the other?' Answer: Buzz. Clicks. Subscriptions. Money.
