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.
