Decked out like a beauty parlor from the 1960s, this elegantly kitsch bar serves up martinis with your manicure (Thu-Sat 6pm-11pm) for only $10.

Owner Paul Devitt, who also owns Star Shoes around the corner, paid homage to vintage glamor by outfitting this retro salon with salvaged fixtures from a salon in Bakersfield. The bar serves up clever drinks like the Prell, made with Midori, pineapple and vodka, and the Platinum Blonde, which has vodka, Malibu rum and pineapple. The vintage blow-dryers are great to sit under while gossiping over cosmos in the early evening. But if you stay late enough on Thursdays, you're likely spot indie hot shots like Har Mar Superstar, Nick Zinner from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Carlos D. from Interpol manning the turntables. This explains all those hip indie guys standing in such close proximity to the blow-dryers!—Lonny Pugh
