The Scene – Instead of a traditional street-side sign, 821 forgoes formality by flanking its entrance with blue lights and a house-rules placard, stating it only serves "nice people" and wants to remain a "secret." Inside, it appears as if the secret's no mystery to the mixed neighborhood crowd creating a lively vibe at this slick, candlelit den.

Editor's Tips

Save Time:
This bar only accepts cash; the nearest ATM is located around the corner at Cafe Abir.
When to Go:
The bar closes its doors at 11pm, but actually serves alcohol until midnight.
Know Before You Go:
There's no outside sign--to find the entrance, look for the blue lights.
The Extras:
The slightly romantic, yet low-key, atmosphere makes this a great date destination.
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best Value, Atmosphere & Mojito

by tbills at Citysearch

Ive been there few times & love it every time. Thier design coupled with their incredible simple wine, champaigne & coctail list with its unusual very competitive prices makes this hang out the jewel of the city.

You are ok there dressed casual but it is far from being that. Great as a date spot over a bottle of wine or a place to check before dinner at Tsunami sushi or any of the area's hangouts. Try their Mojito it i9s truly the best you will have... One is never enough..

  • Pros: Mojito, Wine, Atmopshere

Great hideout

by tdaya at Citysearch

You're probablt likely to miss this place, if you dont know about it already. No signs, but a set of blue bulbs above the door. Great belgian beer, small but very cozy space, great for drinks before dinner, because they close pretty early.
