Looking Glass Lounge

Editorial Review

Yellow backlit sign spells B-A-R amid laundromats and liquor stores. Simply showing up with your wallet intact shows more edge than your most daring American Apparel ensemble. Chandeliers from yesteryear, pre-nicked mahogany bar, decorative hexagonal tiles across the floor. Split-levels and tight booths conducive to cliquishness. Scruffy beardos sip brews , get wistful about forgotten northern English bands who sucked anyway. Highbrow beers for just a few bucks, deals aren't too bad.
