HOTTIES QUOTIENT: High. A sophisticated, yet eclectic crowd frequents the bar. People from all walks of life and all parts of town come to this hangout. It tends to be packed on the weekends, but you can usually find a spot at the open and unpretentious wooden bar that stretches the length of the room.

WALLET HANGOVER: Low to medium. The restaurant has a full bar. Domestic draft beer runs $2.75 and up. They also have Guinness stout on draft for $4 a pilsner glass or $5.25 a pint. If you're in a group, you can order a pitcher to share. Wine drinkers will love the extensive selection. Most of the glass options fall in a fairly affordable $6.75 to $10.75 range. The bottle-only list has even more higher-end wine options from which to choose.

THE 210 TAKE: This is probably the only bar in town where the room seems a little wobbly before you take your first drink. You can bask in the amber glow of the neon lights and exchange intelligent conversations over a cigarette; it's smoke-friendly. And if you're hungry, you won't be disappointed; the bar cozies up to the kitchen.
