Unwind after a long day at the office at the Financial District's newest upscale sports bar, brought to you by the people behind after-work Loop spots Cactus Bar & Grill and The Martini Bar. Aged spirits, more than 20 bottled beers and the "Almost Famous Meatloaf Sandwich" draw crowds. If conversation's not your thing, play Golden Tee, arcade bowling, bean beans or darts, or just kick back and watch the game on one of six 42-inch plasma TVs.
