Fodor's Expert Review Barbarella

Though it doesn't look like much from the outside, entering this "avant-garde rock bar" is like stepping into another, psychedelic world. Bathed in blue light, the cozy, slightly odd pub manages to strike that perfect balance between cool and inviting, with a nice cocktail list to boot. The owner is an ex-college professor who walked away from the ivory tower in order to open a bar and play his favorite tunes, so like any good little boozer, it's a true labor of love.
