"Just above Slippery Slope is its chiller, retro-themed lounge, The Heavy Feather. And though they do have a disco ball, this is more of a place to just hang out and chat. Unlike its sibling, The Heavy Feather has plenty of standing tables, leather booths, and comfy 70’s-esque leather rolly chairs that will definitely tempt you into trying out a spin move. The focus here is on cocktails, and they’re all great—from well-balanced espresso martinis and mezcal Old Fashioneds, to a grasshopper that’s everything you want in a boozy milkshake. They don’t serve food, but if you’re lucky, there might be a midnight appearance from a guy selling tamales (though it’s not the Tamale Guy)." - john ringor, adrian kane
