Our Review
This dark, sleek rock 'n' roll lounge and restaurant has two bars, a DJ booth, and a small stage for live music, for which there's never a cover. Comfy vinyl booths make it that much easier to enjoy the killer jukebox, which ranges from Motorhead to Talking Heads to John Lee Hooker. The menu has standard but well-executed bar bites like chicken fingers and burgers. You might want to stick with one of the several excellent beers on tap: when we asked for a martini, the bartender gave us some good-natured ribbing, then spent several minutes hunting down a cocktail shaker. The kitchen closes at 10 PM nightly.
