HI Hat Lounge
1701 North Arlington PL

Out and about on Brady St with friends on a Thursday night
we stopped by the Hi Hat Lounge. The
upstairs at street level opens onto the down stairs bar level. Hanging colored lights give the place its
mysterious appeal. From the street it
looks to be quiet and unassuming. In
reality it is a not so hidden jewel of a hangout that is known for serving up
an education in Cocktails.
There are the house specialty martini’s , Manhattan’s and
Old Fashioned. Don’t worry, the tried and true classics are ready and
waiting for you as well. Or you can mix
it up with the seasonal cocktails.
Currently on tap is the Scarlet Sour and the Devils Makes Three. The wine list is passable. The beer list is
extensive in all things domestic. Go for
the Cocktails.
I have heard good things about the menu, though we did not
eat there. It is a good place to kick
back, listen to some good music and be with friends.
P.S. The Garage is open next door. If you don’t want the nostalgia of the Hi Hat, watch the game at the Garage. The bourbon and rye list will not leave
thirsty.
