Super chill neighborhood cocktail spot up the block from Drunk Lunch with not at all chill drinks, in fact, they're delicious. They have a euchre table too, so if you're looking to get your Midwest on, this is a great spot to do it. Also, the skinny red head behind the bars name is Pete, he's the best and he'll take great care of you.

Dark, small, kinda sexy. Great classic cocktail menu. Amazing music most nights. If the back room with the mural is open, grab it! If you're hungry, I suggest their Three Cup Chicken.
