Café Saint-Ex

Reminiscent of the Parisian Latin Quarter crossed with a U St lounge, Saint-Ex is always good for a night of sweaty flirting and heavy imbibing. Different DJs spin tunes every night and there’s never a cover charge, although there’s often a crowd. A bar salvaged from a 1930s Philadelphia pub, seats from an old movie theater and classic movies running on the TVs all lend a nostalgic air, but the folks inside are anything but: this is young, hip, popped-collar country. The downstairs lounge plays up the aeronautic theme with a wooden propeller from the owner’s grandfather’s WWI fighter plane.
