This is a restaurant that turns into a cool lounge at night with a DJ. Highly recommended after 9 pm or so for drinks until 12-1 am depending on the night. This place is newer and trendy. To skip the line at night try making a reservation for dinner very far in advance. Worth it between Thursday and Saturday.

My favorite speakeasy and bar across the US. This place is a high-end, quaint speakeasy tiki-bar. It's very pricey with cocktails starting at $15. They boast a rare collection of whiskey from all over the world. This bar is only open Monday - Friday nights. It's by reservation only to those who have been given the email address. Here it is -- You can email bart@oldlightning.com.

One of my favorite restaurants. It's a cool trendy restaurant serving Italian in small tapas-like plates. Great especially in a group setting. Requires a reservation far in advance, and if you go here then you should definitely be sure to check out their speakeasy bar behind it called Old Lightning (see separately).
