Hôtel Biron

Euro alert! Not quite Barcelona or Paris, but close enough. Tiny back-street den-like boîte sporting leather, copper, and wrought-iron flourishes and romantic (read: horny and groping) clientele. Revolving exhibits of local artists' works adorn the walls, with a clientele that can afford them. Specializes in French and California wines by the glass. Good selection of wines and beer, plus cheeses, smoked meats and caviar for grazing.
