Chef Devon Gilroy's Midtown eatery, serving traditional American cuisine with contemporary twists. Big draw for the suited after-work crowd, with the bi-level accommodations almost making it to separate bars.

The downstairs Barrel Room has retro-1920s décor, and the fun part - and hard to get - self-service booths where you get to sample different beers while a monitor displays the amount you have consumed.

Upstairs has full dinner menu and large and crowded bar in the center. Gastropub fare, bespoke cocktails and a sizable wine list help fortify and encourage the swarms to interact and, maybe, just maybe, cop a phone number for dessert.
