Night Time is the Right Time
See All Lists
1. The Black Dog Freehouse
I don't really notice it anymore, but it used to be that every time I walked into the Black Dog I'd be hit by the smell of the quintessential English pub: old wood soaked in beer, with an underlying hint of barf. Don't worry, you get used to it.

2. Red Star Pub
Red Star's probably my #2 choice for bar I actually enjoy going to downtown. It's got kind of a modern English pub atmosphere, with lots of highly-polished wood, sleek bar that curves around in kind of a semicircle, and a wall of really interesting…More »
3. New City Likwid Lounge
Just an update: Friday nights upstairs at New City are now officially Mod Club nights. The same DJs who once spun killer dance parties at Halo now hold court over the Likwid Lounge floor; expect classic rock 'n' roll, britpop and soul, boys and girls…More »

It was first introduced to me on a late-night date; we ordered…More »
6. Wunderbar Hofbrauhaus
Lately I've wound up at the Wunderbar on a few occasions, mostly Sunday nights to watch solo folk musicians play live.
As can be inferred by the name, it's a German-themed bar, serving Bratwurst on request, beer in mugs larger than my head and airing…More »
7. Remedy Cafe
Following up my previous review, I've made a point to try Remedy's chai tea and can finally understand what all the fuss is about. Warm and creamy with a thick velvet foam sprinkled with spices, the chai is a world away from the syrup concoction…More »

I've only ever wound up in Remedy to check out the folk-musician shows they sometimes host upstairs… Read more »
8. New City Suburbs
The music and the crowd may seem a little intimidating to some, but hard as it may be to believe, New City is easily the most welcoming club in the entire city. On its regular Saturday industrial nights, people clad in gas masks, eye patches, and…More »
