I always enjoy visiting a lounge for a more intimate bar experience. The comfy chairs, rich colors and dim lighting are instantly inviting. The next time you need to chill out, try these lounges.
Moca Bar & Lounge If I designed a bar in my home, I would use Moca as my inspiration. The local favorite has an intimate vibe with a classic American menu and comfortable plush seating. Hip-hop, Motown classics and R&B keep the place lively. From 5-9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 5-8 p.m. on weekends, enjoy half-price beer and well drinks. The Uptown Restaurant & Lounge This rustic wine bar has an extensive drinks list and a relaxed atmosphere with a touch of glamour. The back room is full of skylights, creating an outdoor feel. Daily until 8 p.m. enjoy $4 beers,$6 wine and sangria and $7 specialty martinis. Appetizers like fried pickles are $6. They book live jazz on Tuesdays and live music and DJs on Fridays and Saturdays. B Flat This lounge sits below street level, so look for the red doors. You will love the low key vibe, jazzy beat and interesting mixed drinks. All the seating is intimate, so settle in for a long relaxing evening.From 5-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday take advantage of $4beer, $5 wine and $7 cocktails. Try the cottontail martini with green tea-flavored vodka. They offer live jazz on Monday and Wednesday nights.
