Paramount Room
I can admit I went to my fair share of keg parties while I was in college. Back then, when the alcohol was free and I didn't have much cash to buy my own, I didn't get picky about what was in that keg. And let me tell you, I encountered plenty of nasty brews. Yuck.
Now that I'm older, I know that some of the best beers don't have amusing commercials during the Super Bowl. Paramount Room offers a beer menu that has style without being stuffy, offering 12 rotating beers on tap and more than 20 bottles and cans. You're bound to find a flavor that is right for you.
And what's a good beer without good food to go with it? Try small appetizers like the steak tartare, truffled potato ravioli, or grilled veal sausage. Looking for something a bit more substantial? The duck confit and Berkshire pork shank are, thankfully, nothing like the ramen I had all too often years ago.
This 100-year-old speakeasy can be hard to find, its blue neon sign hidden amidst overpasses and intersections. Once you're in though, you'll encounter sleek urban interior'raw wood, exposed brick, glowing silk lamps. The upstairs space can feel a bit crowded, so head downstairs to the pool table and rich, brown booths tucked away in cozy corners.
And not a keg stand or beer bong in sight.
