The Mink/The Backroom   

The Mink, a narrow bar and lounge located a few doors down from the Continental Club, is a little bit off the beaten path. Those who have found it know that it's a great place to enjoy music, have a cocktail, and unwind after work and on weekends. The concept is low-key and stylish, with lots of push seating and vibrant colors. This section of Main Street is chock-a-block with cool bars, restaurants and music venues, which means parking can be limited. If you don't want to risk leaving your car on the street, take advantage of the free valet service. The Mink is also conveniently close to a light rail stop, which makes it easy to access from downtown or the Medical Center area for happy hour.
