Lonely Planet review

Talk about normal! This beer-scented tavern has an old-fashioned vibe, loud classic rock and a popular pool table, along with decent pub fare and roomy tables alongside its lengthy bar. The crowd is filled with groups of regular Joes and the occasional girlfriend, and on alternating Fridays the high straight-boy content (for Chelsea) is especially obvious.

The small basement gets packed with some of the hottest men in the 'hood for Snaxx, a DJ-driven lounge soiree that pulls in a big crowd based on buzz alone.
