This neighborhood bar in Cathedral Hill is a bit mellower than some of the other places listed. People mingle downstairs and listen to the one-person musical show. Catching the last bit of sunlight upstairs is as warm as the Spanish wine. The best pre-birthday bash on either side of the Mississippi River. Also thrown in are a T-shirt and a Polaroid pic.
Reservations secure ample space.
After 9 p.m., a DJ sets up, and a dance floor emerges.
