Get this: the front room serves up craft cocktails and craft brews. Great, right? But behind a swiveling bookcase, you get a black and gold nightclub, replete with over-the-top eye candy like 1,000 gold skulls set into its back wall and a circular chandelier comprised of 1,800 LED lights. Whichever tickles your fancy, this spot is worth checking out.
