Sitting in a quiet little spot on the street of the same name, if you don't know where this place is, you may easily walk right by it. And sometimes that's the point for those not-in-the-know. Regulars have scoped it out and appreciate the dark, cozy room for what it's good at: great cocktails and an atmosphere and decor remnant of days gone by. Don't mind the art (nude women paintings), just chalk them up to adding to the ambiance. Drinks are seasonal and have cute names, or the bartender can whip you up a creation of your choice. Seating is limited but enjoyment isn't so make your way over to this great little speakeasy lounge.
