DOWNTOWN. A place to sit may be difficult to come by at this oft crowded Short North bar where people wait for a table or simply drop in to try one of 18 martinis.

The extensive menu includes a terrific selection of desserts and wines.

DOWNTOWN. Great for a casual night out, Dick's Den features live jazz on the weekends, and has a jukebox full of old favorites (on 45s!) that stays busy all week long. Occasional forays into poetry backed by improvised jazz keeps the spirit of the Beat Generation alive. The sign over the door asks, "Why Not?" And indeed, this is the kind of place where most anything seems possible.

DOWNTOWN. It's easy to spot this wonderful bar thanks to its turn-of-the-century, multicolored Art Deco elevator façade. Inside, the ornate ceilings, tile floors and polished banquettes add a sense of nostalgia as patrons sip lagers and ales brewed on the premises. While finer dining occurs in the back, with patrons enjoying house specialties such as jambalaya, steak frites and pan-seared walleye, a rowdier crowd congregates at the front, enjoying house brews such as Procrastinator Dopplebock (a dark lager that makes you want to put everything else off until tomorrow).

DOWNTOWN. Casual digs populated with friendly staff and amiable patrons, this is the kind of spot where coming alone or in a group is equally guaranteed to be fun.
