This Southport spot boasts conversation-friendly music, vaguely Victorian decor, and a hip abbreviated name. Tight clusters of wooden tables and chairs give way to a trio of plush, mega-booths lit by bordello-red lamps. The small but hard-working bar staff toils across the way beneath leaf-shaped ceiling fans and chandeliers. Further back, behind exposed brick walls, is another room with a DJ nook, more tables, and the grill line.
