A little something about the venue:

The Scene
King size is definitely a play on words here. At first glance, the small bar appears to be like any other chill neighborhood spot. Its exposed brick walls, low lighting and comfy stools make it easy to sidle up to the bar and stay a while. Past the front bar, however, two more intimate nooks hide. One raised slightly above the bar shares space with a DJ booth and has low seating. The other--sunken in the back--feels like a private party room; its walls are covered in a red, green and white leafy motif, and plush seating rims the room.

The Draw
Drinking dens in this neck of the woods are rare. Weeknights pull in a mixed, relaxed late-night crowd representative of the neighborhood, and weekends feature DJs playing funk, hip-hop and broken beat. Thankfully, the bartenders arent afraid to experiment--ask for a martini made with huckleberry vodka for refreshment thats not too sweet.
