1. Rye
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 474-4448
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
This place is pretty sweet. I had my first-ever sazerac here and enjoyed it immensely. I normally don't drink bourbon or whiskey - it burns. But this went down so smooth. While I was sitting at the bar the bartender was very accomadating and refilled…More »
2. est. 1986 Wine Bar/Lounge
New York, NY 10001
(212) 563-1500
A romantic, chill spot amid the hustle and bustle of K-town. Perfect for a first, second, or third date or a quiet girls' night. Was here on a Friday around 9 or 10 pm, and the bar was only a quarter full, so don't come here expecting to meet anyone…More »
3. Wisdom
Washington, DC 20003

Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Capitol Hill/Southeast, Barney Circle
Mixologist's paradise. If I still lived in DC I would be a regular here, fo' sure. They know how to get creative with their cocktail menu, but they know how to keep it simple too. Just give me the Lavender Vodka Soda, and I'm happy.
Hip yet…More »
4. SideBar
This is pretty much the perfect bar for me. Hip but not pretentious crowd; cute guys; friendly, down-to-earth bartenders; perfect lighting; good DJs (the live bouzouki on top of recorded tracks was a bit weird, but I give them props for trying);…More »
5. Chambar
I only had drinks here, no food. My brother and I got a table by the front window around 8 on a Thursday and enjoyed some amazing Belgian beers. They were reasonably priced and the service was stellar! Ambiance is hip and sophisticated but not at all…More »
6. The Hidden Vine
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 674-3567
Category:
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Financial District
This wine bar is more homey than trendy and was a very pleasant surprise on my recent trip to San Fran. I felt completely comfortable here as a solo female customer. I had the Riesling flight ($11 for 3 amazing glasses of wine!!) paired with 2…More »
7. Caffe Phoenix
Much improved since my last visit. Tried the pear and fennel salad again, and it was just right. Also had the appetizer on special, which was phenomenal: sweet potato and goat cheese ravioli made in house. The flavor and texture were perfect. I hope…More »

8. Rodan
Chicago, IL 60622

Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Bars
Neighbourhood: Wicker Park
When in town I come here for the drinks and for the ambiance. Food is just OK. On both visits I've sat at the bar, which is a good spot for meeting interesting people, especially if you are traveling solo. The bartenders took good care of me.

Neighbourhoods: West End, The Loop
I was nervous to try this restaurant after reading and hearing many negative reviews, but I had a good experience here late last night. Nothing else in the area was open and serving food after 11 pm on a Sunday. We were starving and very happy to…More »
10. The Royale Food & Spirits

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Tower Grove South
The Royale never disappoints. Well, OK, sometimes it does, but I love it anyway. I used to live in the neighborhood and really miss this place now: especially the retro theme parties (e.g., the Cuban Missile Crisis party aka Mad Men Party), the vinyl…More »
11. Brennan's

Tobacco Shops,
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: Central West End
This review is for the upstairs lounge only (Maryland House). Went on a Friday night. Crowd started out a little thin but definitely picked up around 10. Nice ambiance and good music playing on the speakers (Thievery Corporation, etc.). I would say…More »
12. Urban
Saint Louis, MO 63118
(314) 772-3308
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Tower Grove East
I'm downgrading Urban a bit because it seemed rough around the edges on a recent visit. It was early in the evening (9:30) and I was looking for something chill and romantic-ish. But they were playing music too loudly for talking and conversation.…More »

If this place were in Chicago or DC, people would be all over it. Many St. Louisians don't "get"… Read more »
