You're in a gay bar in a state that's the unofficial home of 10,000 sports bars. Luckily, this place skips the drag queens, 3-for-1 drinks, and tacky chaos. The minimalist decor, perfectly primped patrons, and Eurotrance and lounge music scream Manhattan chic, but with the bonus of an unpretentious Midwestern vibe.
Prime Time: Weekend nights fill up earlier than at the other bars of its color.
Try The: Any drink, it will be strong.
Crowd: Skinny boys in skinny jeans and pretty women in even prettier cocktail attire.
Late-Night Bite: Not unless you include the olives in the martini.
Don't be surprised if . . . you hear music you haven't heard since vacationing in Ibiza.
