With its red lighting and below-street-level entrance, this boudoir-themed bar looks seductive. But step inside and you'll find that it's nothing more—actually much, much less—than a common cocktail den. It's hard to decide what's worse: the small drinks with salacious names only a twelve-year-old boy would find funny? Or is it that those cocktails are served by the most condescending bartenders in town? Maybe it's the privacy-violating policy of confiscating your driver's license if you want to pay with plastic. Whatever it is, spend a few minutes here and you'll want to "X" this Madame out of your little black book. — Jenifer Van Vleck
