A far cry from its dive days as J. Sloans,
this renovated cocktail lounge has been retro-fitted in Rat Pack-era
cool with zebra, blue, pink color schemes, plush booths, intimate
lighting and a top-shelf bar. The building's original stairway leads
up to two glass-encased rooms with flat-screen TVs, slick wood floors
and sloping chairs. DJs spin everything from swing to soul, while
live jazz bands entertain on Sundays. The leisurely atmosphere lures
young professionals and flamboyant artists from the nearby Pacific
Design Center.
There's definitely some swagger here, but surprisingly little attitude.
The classy-yet-freewheeling vibe combined with the absence of a
guest list or cover charge makes it ideal for grabbing an after-work
drink, romancing a date or catching the game on the bar's pull-down
screen. Crowded:mixed Trendy: yes Romantic:mixed Good for after work:
