Hidden just off 17th Street, halfway down a service street lined with parking garages and loading docks. Best outpost of our famed local chef Marc Vetri. Pizza, beer and little else.

Drinks & Nightlife
Rouge
205 S 18th StA classic. THE classic.
Amazing Mexican food and fully-stocked tequila bar, which is gracious of them, since they own the Simpre Azul brand. The waiter will bring your margarita to the table balanced on his head. Loco!
