The Scene
Tucked away in an alley, dimly lit with red candles, and decorated with red carpet and red-and-gold wallpaper, the place makes you feel like you're cheating on your lover or meeting a secret agent. Appropriately, attorneys and politicians drop in at lunchtime, and 40-somethings wander in at night. Atmosphere and style are what keep people coming back. That and the rather odd weekend entertainment: Two women with husky, torch-singer voices croon to a karaoke machine on alternate nights. When there's no ''live'' music, hum along to Nat King Cole and Ol' Blue Eyes on the jukebox.
The Drinks
There's only one beer on tap, but you're going to love this place anyway. Dress up and sip whiskey neat while you pretend you're Humphrey Bogart or Mata Hari.
