Best New Cocktail Bar: Chief’s

December 3, 2025

Yes, this section has been heavy on the NoDa establishments, but the neighborhood has seen a bit of a nightlife renaissance this year. Built on a foundation of a family tradition of hospitality, Chief’s Modern Cocktail Parlor has quickly become one of NoDa’s most refined yet welcoming destinations. The concept comes from the Built On Hospitality team’s partnership with legendary mixologist Bob Peters, who named the space in honor of his parents, Chief and Marmee — a nod to the warmth they shared with everyone they welcomed into their home.
