Downtown has brought a little mystery into nightlife with the addition of a modern twist on a speakeasy. With no official address, feel free to wander the street of Central Avenue, south of Monroe and north of Adams, in search for the red lightbulb that marks the entrance with the reward of crafty cocktails.
