Description



Beyond its cinematic cameos, this 1829 landmark once hosted a young Mae West and still keeps its original draught beer system running. Film buffs can track down the sliding glass door where the Lufthansa heist was planned, but the room functions first as a living neighborhood joint. The menu leans into highly praised burgers and specialty drinks like the Wise Guy cocktail, while the calendar regularly features live jazz and comedy. It is a comfortable, unpretentious spot where neighborhood families share early dinners alongside date-night regulars.
