"Prohibition-era bike shop bars don't get better than The House of Machines, and you'll be hooked the moment you arrive at this spot in City Centre. A cheeky "Don’t Be A D*CK" sign on the front glass façade sets the tongue-in-cheek tone; inside, you'll find dim lighting and a carefully assembled mix of design details. Exposed bricks, subway tiles, and wooden beams enhance the overall vibe. There are all types of drinks here, including local craft beers and throwback cocktails. Try the Side Car or the Smoked Old Fashioned, both made with exuberant gusto." - Seth Shezi
