Profile

Last Exit strikes the perfect balance between being a cozy local bar and a hipster lounge. The first-rate music, ranging from cool jazz to hard techno, sounds like what it is—a personal collection, lovingly assembled by the beat-savvy owner. The happy hour can be a bit dense with swaggering young lawyers from the nearby courthouse, but the later crowd has a smartly sexy yet unpretentious vibe. A warren of dumpster-chic velvet sofas and vinyl loveseats in back accommodate both large groups and snogging couples, and in warm weather a small lantern-lit garden offers unspoiled views of brownstone backsides. — Andrew Yamato

Daily, 6 bottles, $15

This is a great bar! The music was hip, the prices totally reasonable, and the bartenders were great. They were attentive and made a point to remember names of the patrons. I actually even met one of the owners. How often does that happen? There seemed to be a good group of regulars who were all very friendly. This is a place I would go back to again.
