This bar and lounge is the perfect spot for a late afternoon cocktail or a more intimate late-night encounter. Its two spaces include the front bar, where you can sit and watch as bartenders create their signature cocktails or something of your own design. Or you can step down into the lounge with its velvet curtains, leather booths, and tables for two or more. A delcious, creative menu of small bites is an added treat.
When the cool crowd is out to hear up-and-coming bands and techno DJs, they head to this tiny venue and bar that packs in the music cognoscenti and music agents looking for the next big thing. The bands often start late (Whammy opens at 8:30), so it's for the out-late, dance-friendly crowd after more than easy pop tunes. Be prepared to be surprised by local talent.
