BlankUS Luxury Lounge , 501 N. College Ave. | This lounge features romantic music, food for all meals, a bar, and an upscale experience. Pro tip: Dress code is strictly enforced, so dress to impress.
Nowhere Special , 608 Mass Ave. | This cocktail lounge opened up in the former Libertine Liquor Bar spot in June. Enjoy the swanky + sophisticated vibe with a cocktail (or mocktail) and a menu of bar snacks with Caribbean and Southeast Asian influences.
Turner’s Bar , 1060 N. Capitol Ave., Ste 1-104 | Among the new additions to the Stutz building, this laid-back bar showcases classic cocktails, cold beer, and an old school pool table. Bonus: It also has a surprise in store for its patrons with a literal “hole in the wall.”
