A full bar offers any drink you can dream of. Over 150 brews from over 20 different countries are available at Bar 35, along with sake and a creative list of classic and house specialty cocktails. Happy hour martinis are just $3.75, and they're delicious. If you are daring, try their signature Cherry Bloom Princess or Red Lantern.

What's interesting about a bar like this that's such a late-night hangout is that they offer really good food. Nine different thin-crust pizzas - made by hand with local and fresh toppings - are on the menu, along with other delicious and exotic appetizers like spicy edamame and crostinis.

Bar 35 even offers speed dating. Every third Thursday of the month, singles gather for seven-minute dates with approximately 10 people of the opposite sex. Appetizers and drinks are offered with the dating session, which takes place in a private patio outside the back of the bar.

And any night of the week, semi-private rooms near the back of the bar offer havens for group dining and hanging out.
