Great wine bar - feels like you stepped into Paris. Doesn't hurt that most of the servers there are from France as well. $10 happy hour flights of wine from 5-7 PM is a great deal!

You can surely visit this Michelin starred restaurant, but I prefer heading next door to La Folie Lounge for sexy cocktails and a smaller food menu to snack on. Hip and upscale vibe.

It's an "experience." Be prepared for cheesy 70's porn on the walls and spliced into some of the TV shows. It's a kitschy good time of a dive bar, if only for one drink.

So small you might miss it, this ironically named bar is worth seeking out. $13 will get you a conversation and a custom crafted cocktail tailored for you. There is no menu.
