The Vig Bar

The name, arcane bookie slang for interest charged on a bet, nods to a time when the neighborhood was full of wiseguys who might stop in for a scotch, neat. Today's Vig, a fine-enough lounge, uses long, low banquets, leather tuffets and votive candles to set the mood. Weeknights, when the music starts out bluesy, find a refined after-work drinking crowd. Solid DJs throw together an eclectic mix every night of the week after about 9:30pm. (Source: Citysearch.com)
