1717 is a cozy romantic hide-away on Delaware Avenue just up from the Trolley Square action. It is the best place to have a martini and enjoy a friendly local crowd. Exposed brick and candlelight make it a nice date spot. The place gets busy on Friday and Saturday and the small 10-person bar area can get pretty packed. Menu tends to French-Asian with chef/owner-inspired dishes. Appetizers and full menu available. Bar seating is in the front; make your way to tables in the back.

The City Bar Loop is a pub crawl on wheels! One wristband, 20 bars, and many buses to take you and a few thousand "loopsters" to all of them. Basically a city-wide party based on a theme and costumes. It started with Halloween, but now includes Mardi Gras, Shamrock Shuttle, 70's retro Loop, 80's Retro Loop, and the Santa Crawl. Live music, colorful outfits, and a designated driver make for a fun and safe night! Purchase wristbands at any participating bar on the Loop. Most bars post Loop photos of the fun on their websites.
