Vergina

10Best Says

Known for its fine Italian cuisine, Vergina restaurant also turns into a hot night spot as darkness falls. The bar plays more Motown style music than jazz, but it draws in fans from 8:30 to close nightly. Crowds spill out in the courtyard between Vergina and the neighboring building. Happy hour is all night Mondays and 3:30- 7 p.m. the rest of the week, featuring steep drink specials. Nightlifers can order from the regular dinner menu or a lighter cafe and bar menu. Butternut squash ravioli is the star on the latter menu. The drink menu lists some interesting, tasty martinis - a Vergina specialty.
