It also has an arcade room so you can distract yourself if a televised game isn’t going your way. The […]

Bar fans have been living it up at the Ace-Hi since Leo Stillman purchased the old Opera House restaurant on historic Washington Avenue and opened the bar back in 1961. Leo’s son, […]

But after that, the city’s tiki action was largely extinguished – until Adrift turned a 2,200-square-foot space into an island retreat in 2012. While a few other tiki spots have opened since then, Adrift’s […]

A dive for decades, the tavern received a facelift in 2013 under new ownership while still holding on to the building’s vintage charm. More upscale now, it serves a variety of vintage cocktails […]

Since then, its divey vibes have made it a neighborhood favorite where crowds gather for First Friday. Whether you shoot a game of pool or play darts, or just […]
