This is my go-to bar. I'm not sure how or why it became that, but it never disappoints.
I really like taking people here, as somehow, most of the people I suggest it to have never been. I find that I can go on a Wednesday afternoon or a Friday night and get a seat regardless. I think that's the best part considering I generally seek out a) somewhere to sit and b) somewhere that I can have conversation and still hear the other person talking.
The soundtrack is always awesome. The bartenders are extremely friendly and attentive. There's table service (and couch service... my preferred seating arrangement). The cocktail list is innovative and extremely tasty. I've tried every drink thus far, but the Corpse Reviver takes the cake. It reminds me of lemonade. Even the cheapest bottles of wine are pretty solid in my book.
