To make the most of your night out with the guys, consider hiring car service to bring the group to the bar(s) you visit that night. Whether you visit 601 Lounge or another place, no one will have to worry about cutting themselves off, so you’re all bound to have a great time. Car service would be a perfect complement to one of these great businesses.

Neons Unplugged

Here you can play some of your favorite tunes on the jukebox while you challenge your buds to a game of giant Jenga. The fun games and pet friendliness (patrons are welcome to bring their dogs) make this place a favorite for many, and the great bartenders are quick to suggest an interesting alternative if you order a standard drink.  The patio has large tables that are perfect for a big party. Your group could also plant themselves on the leather couches on the second floor.
