This hidden gem recently made the switch from banquet hall to bar and restaurant. The culture clash is immediately evident: Stained glass windows feature decidedly Germanic imps clutching beer steins, yet the name of the place is Spanish for "The Woodcutter." Walking into the bar, you may immediately start looking for one of two infamous TV characters, Special Agent Dale Cooper or Doctor Who -- did you time travel, or just walk into David Lynch's wet dream? The answer is, sort of both. The interior is an amber-preserved homage to the German Brewhaus of decades past: A hand-painted mural of the Black Forest and low-hanging chandeliers decorate the restaurant side, while kitschy petrified wood adorns the dim bar. Mexican food in an old German bar, and nary a German bier in sight? Si, bitte!

A German beer garden-turned-Mexican restaurant, El Leñador has earned a reputation among those in the know as the new Cherokee hot spot. As you walk in you can find a cozy bar to the right, with a spacious hall to your left. Dimly lit with a dance floor and an assortment of tables, it feels like a bingo hall mixed with a '70s basement den. The homey décor and the friendliness of the staff will have you feeling right at home. Wednesday evening $1 Stag Nights pack them in, and... More »
Hump day. Despite its more lurid connotations, this phrase essentially reminds us that our lives are but a cycle of workaday suffering and that we're in the trough -- as far as we can get from the weekend. But why sit glumly in front of the tube when you can celebrate the downhill sweep toward the weekend? Johnny Vegas understands: For the better part of a decade, Stag Nite has stumbled around, from the demolished Magee's at the corner of Clayton and South Taylor avenues to Off... More »
