With Iron City in either bottle or tall can ($1 at happy hour), this is a blue-collar bar with style. Rub elbows with local punk musicians and 12-foot-bike-riding clowns from across the street at tiled tables, or take in a show in the adjacent room with removable theater seating for rocking out or attentive listening. This art-district hot spot is always bustling at night but can be dreary in the early evening.
