Cy Oldham of Silver Cloud and Howard Natinsky of Five Star partnered to bring cocktails and comfort food with a twist to this strip of Broadway, which is quite the destination (Crew Bar + Grill, Green Mill, Marigold and more). The Uptown neighborhood bar and grill features classic decor with influences from the '30s and '40s, including a 40-foot Art Deco bar and wooden pillars throughout. Settle into plush gangster-style booths while scanning a collection of historical photos of the 'hood, or watch the game on eight plasma-screen TVs. Cocktails and martinis change with the seasons. You can also choose from 16 draft beers or more than 35 bottles. And keep your eyes open: Band members have been know to hang here before or after shows at the nearby Aragon Ballroom or Rivieria Theatre.

I used go to Fat Cat often but recently have decided it's not worth the aggravation of simply not being waited on. The wait staff has literally ave...

When the manager cared, this was a great place. Staff seems to be more interested now in having a good time than doing their job. That said, poor s...
