One place I thought of immediately when putting together this roundup of rum cocktails was, of course, The Rum House—which offers a true feeling of old New York right in the midst of Times Square.

The Rum House does provide a haven from the hustle and bustle and tourist traps in Times Square. Do come here to not only enjoy cocktails but also live jazz. To follow are 2 cocktails from Abdul Tabini and 1 from bartender Abel Rodriguez. Abdul Tabini gained local fame at his stint at The Odeon, and went on to open beloved Ward III and The Rum House.
