Editorial Review

Pretty space this is, more coquettish gallery than rager bar but with the charms of both.  Vaulted ceilings, warm, inviting wine bar, monthly openings for well chosen artwork.  There are always put-together people here -- it's not near many other spots so folks tend to stick it out all night.  Often rented out for private parties of pretty people so check ahead or prepare to pretend to fit in!
