Description
Give or take your family's own particular idiosyncracies, Cresta's is the kinda place your Mom might open if she decided to start a bar: It's clean, welcoming, and none too wild. Cresta's usually leaves the loud music, leering pickup attempts, and loutish behavior of drunken younguns to the other bars on Polk, opting instead to present itself as a nice, friendly place in which to sit with a quiet cocktail and chat with your neighbors. It's a small space - just enough room for a narrow string of stools, plus a handsome antique back bar - which only serves to make it even cozier. Mom would approve.
