Double Trouble

Espresso by day, cocktails by night

A Midtown hybrid that pours coffee and cocktails side by side, next door to the Continental Club.

Directions Official site

Double Trouble opened on December 1, 2011, founded by two bartenders who met working at Poison Girl, and the pitch was simple: good coffee and good drinks under one roof. More than a decade later it is a Midtown fixture on the Main Street strip, a few steps from the Continental Club and the METRORail line. The space is relaxed, with bamboo and rattan accents, the crowd mixes devoted regulars with visitors who found it along the rail line, and the menu happily blurs the line between the two halves of the name. It is the perfect warm-up before live music down the block, or a nightcap afterward when you still want to talk.

What to expect

  • There is a tiki-inspired patio.

What to order

  1. An espresso cocktail that plays both sides of the menu
  2. A classic cocktail before a show at the Continental Club
  3. A straight coffee if the night is still young
