"Russell’s is one of our favorite bars in the neighborhood. There’s a friendly staff, nice-looking wooden booths, a bright red retro refrigerator behind the bar, and a delicious homemade hot pretzel you can liberally dunk in Beecher’s beer cheese. You’ll also find solid beers on tap and some interesting cocktails. Hole up here for a couple of hours with some friends on a rainy weekend for optimal results." - aimee rizzo
