"Dubbed a “creative sanctuary,” this West Town bar has quickly become a favorite among those who like their cocktails impeccably made, minus the pretense that sometimes goes with them. Regular live music adds to its charm. During happy hour, select cocktails are $10 from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, poured alongside $8 glasses of sparkling wine, $7 mixed drinks, and a $12 rotating cocktail special. There is also a “cheap beer” offering for $2 and an “industry standard” cheap beer and whiskey shot for $4. A recently opened patio tucked behind the bar offers cozy seating, often accompanied by live music from inside the venue." - Lisa Shames
