Big Star is a small neighborhood haunt with everything to entertain the young working type - beverages, pool table, video games, magazines, jukebox, fire pit, hula hoops, etc. The drinks are cheap and strong, the service is quick, and the crowd is lively. The bar is dimly lit with random lamps and lights. Atop a checkerboard floor sits a range of simple chairs and tables. A more lounge-like corner holds oversized, oddly shaped psychedelic furniture. When the weather's not sweltering or otherwise wet, patrons tend to hang outside at picnic tables under an industrial-looking cover. No frills, just good times here. -Gemma Amato
Seldom does such an intrinsically cool place have the matching atmosphere to go with it. Among the ever-lively Washington Ave.'s super trendy bars, pubs, and clubs, Pearl Bar takes the cake. Pearl has two different areas working in beautiful nightlife harmony with one another. The indoor area is a buzzing modern sanctuary of beautiful young people and crowded mingling, while the outdoor patio is just a stupendous backyard party. The bartenders are seasoned veterans of mixology, and they handle the overflowing weekend crowd well. So, stop in for a less crowded happy hour with great drink specials.
