| - My sister and I ended up here after First Friday last night, and I was surprised to find that the place wasn't packed like every other bar down town. One sip of my drink, however, and it all made sense.
Hanny's is a beautiful example of adaptive reuse and historic rehabilitation, but I think they went overboard with the modern decor. It feels cold and rather uninviting.
We were only there for drinks, which were reasonably priced but not so great. My sister's Pear-tini tasted like Nyquil, and my Ginger Creek was all whiskey and no ginger. We figured we just ordered the wrong things, so we went for dirty martinis for the second round. Priced at $5, it seems like a pretty good deal. However, I get better martinis at the Bikini, and that's with really crappy vodka and a pissed off bartender.
We had a good time exploring the place- the elevator shaft, the crazy bathrooms, the little make-out corner upstairs- but in the end, we both agreed that we should have gone to SideBar.
Lesson learned.
