    The name of this tavern loosely translates to "bar of the city," serves drinks often made with local spirits in a cozy setting with antique furniture and a speakeasy-style room in the back.

    Part cocktail lounge/pool hall/dance club that boasts a vast array of delicious spirits to keep your ABV from dropping too low. Come early to grab a spot at the pool table. Read more

    Always a bro-pumpin' party on the weekend and great jazzy weekdays. The place makes us think we're nearing Hotel de Ville on the Paris Metro.

    First time here. Very pleasant evening. Been looking for a Tuesday night spot and this place wins with the cocktails and live music. Brad made me a great Corpse Reviver, Old-Fashioned, and Last Word.

    You’ll find an extensive beer list, leather booths, brocade wallpaper and hipsters shooting stick in an antler-adorned back room, but they’ve set their corner tap on the path toward longevity. Read more

    Great cocktails, small but good tap list, good bottle list, and laid back vibe. Already been back several times!

    Perhaps the most perfect bar. Variety throughout the three sections and a photo booth to capture the good times.

    Come to drink and play free pool with the worst pool sticks in the world. Club scene in the back later in the night.

    A great neighborhood bar for every mood: whether you want to sip some classic cocktails, shoot a game of pool, dance to a DJ, or just drink cheap beer and chill in a booth!

    Order a Tom Collins. Their ingredients make it one you won't forget, for its deliciousness and its potency.

    Had a great time; however, there was a male bartender who was pretty rude and rough with my friends back in July. He got pretty mouthy with some of the ladies as well.
