This once-grungy dive bar (formerly The Red Garter) has ditched the "Red" and undergone a fancy-pants makeover. The new vibe is French burlesque meets Western saloon, which is a-okay with us. There's a happy hour between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., and then a "reversed" happy hour from 12 a.m. to 1 a.m.
On Saturdays, DJ Chris Boogie spins, and on Monday nights it's all about the Wii bowling tournament. Don't forget to say hi to co-owner Shawn Hardi, who's usually found behind the bar serving equal parts drinks, smiles and sass.
