If you would like to drink at a lounge that you are pretty sure Sherlock Holmes would sit at, D.W. Alexander is the place to go. Bookish and intimate, like a funky college library (can libraries be funky?), this small lounge packs a lot of style. D.W. Alexander was a leather trader in the late 19th century and this place places homage to a highbrow past while somehow getting away with playing top 40 and hip hop. Whiskeys are highly recommended (they even have Japanese whiskey Hibiki Harmony) and there is free bacon popcorn to snack on while you wax nostalgic about the good ol'days.
