The rock 'n' roll theme at this West Town spot mixes an old-school 1940s deco element with modern touches. Sidle up to the 75-foot, L-shaped bar or settle into cushy booths near oversized mirrors. When the weather's warm, floor-to-ceiling windows open up the front of the bar to the sidewalk. If you're looking for more seclusion, a semi-private lounge area in back sets quite the scene: Vintage "tattoos" cover the walls, and there's even a stripper pole. If you like other, er, bar games, try the pool table in back.
This spot specializes in bourbons, stocking 30 American varieties and a cocktail menu featuring 14 bourbon-based drinks. Boubon's not your thing? Choose from 16 beers on tap or the fully-stocked bar. A playful, upscale bar menu features everything from specialty burgers to tempura chicken fingers to the "Sid & Nancy" Honeymooner sandwich. Tap your toes to a weekly soundtrack of indie rock, punk, rockabilly and metal; DJs rock out on weekends.
