The Scene
"Thom McAn Shoes" is still etched into the stone entryway, but the only shoes you'll find inside are attached to young professionals on the prowl. Big windows allow passers-by to browse the merchandise before entering. A long, curved bar and curvy furniture break up the boxy nature of the space. Colorful paintings of women in sunglasses dot the walls. Downstairs, a DJ spins a dreamy variety of world music.

The Draw
The eight-page drink menu offers the first hint that tippling is serious business here. If the Flirtini originally created for Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't interest you, how about a Green Monkey Butt made with vodka and melon liqueur? Or if you're trying to attract someone who will love you for your money, order a shot of Herradura Select tequila and casually plunk down $60 plus a tip.

Happy Hour
They have a daily happy hour from 2pm to 8pm, when you can enjoy $3.75 well drinks, $1.75 domestic beer and $4.75 well martinis. They also have various drink specials from Sunday through Thursday.
