Coffee Noir

Not only is the food here delicious, you are eating for a good cause. For every sandwich sold one sandwich is donated to a local homeless shelter. Hence the name "Even Stevens"

Upstair is my personal favorite. It's a small, cheap bar with a great crew working behind the bar. Ask the host next to the restroom to go downstairs. If there is room they will unlock the door and you will feel like you have traveled back to a prohibition-era speck-easy. Delicious cocktails and phenomenal ambience.

Dark with a speakeasy vibe, Bar X has a large bar and many small "tete a tete" tables to cozy up to. Order the roulette (bartender's choice) and you won't be disappointed.
