This spot was once a 3-floor mansion. It still has working fireplaces, antique chandeliers, and upholstered furniture. Pay the cover. You're sure to reap the rewards.
Books and brews? Not a bad idea. The literate choice here is clearly a Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Leave the mango martinis to the Cliff's Notes types.
