Price range: $ (Under $9)
This Old Town restaurant/lounge has an swanky industrial feel with modern elements such as wood floors, exposed brick, 18-foot ceilings, low-slung banquettes and leather ottomans. A state-of-the-art sound system and eight 42-inch high definition plasma TVs provide a chance to watch the game of some late-night videos or movies. Feeling hungry? Fill up on all-American comfort food with flair. Plus, there's an extensive frou-frou drink list, including the Mucho Mango and Spoon Flirt martinis, and bottle service for those coming in with a small group. In the summer, hang out in the garden patio for some prime people watching or play a round of bean bags.

The polished crowd in their twenties is fun and friendly, as are the bartenders and doormen. DJs spin all the good stuff -- old and new soul, R&B and hip-hop sounds that work well with the vibe of the room.
