Restaurateur Cassio Machado has retained the kitsch factor of his former eatery in the same location, re-envisioning it as a bling-y boxer-playboy den. Dedicated to the sweet science, photos depicting female fighters in Paris and historical shots of Ring One girls surround artist patrons sprawled across mismatched furniture and patterns: Animal skin-printed sofas, wicker chairs, wallpaper in a floral motif, marble tables. DJ in the lounge area provides beats to partygoers at 2 a.m. peaking on adrenaline and hydrating themselves with drinks named after famous boxers. In between rounds, outdoor area provides ample breathing space to recharge on sliders, grilled meats, and pasta.
