Juicy Wine Co. or any other place to drink and converse

Post #1 - August 6th, 2008, 9:08 amI have been here before, and of course, had wine. Does anyone know if they serve cocktails? I can't tell from their website. I am looking for a place like this to meet a friend I haven't seen in awhile, and actually be able to converse and hear what he has to say.

Post #2 - August 6th, 2008, 9:16 amI was just at Juicy Wine Bar and, although I didn't have any cocktails, I am pretty sure that they had some on the menu. They also have a nice (but small) outdoor deck area. If you want to talk, you might want to sit there since the main room can be a bit loud.
The one time I went to Paramount Room it wasn't very loud. In fact, it was pretty empty.
Another option is the Iguana Cafe. I don't think they have cocktails, but I could be wrong.
Finally, Matchbox is close by. They have great cocktails. The outside seats are very conversation-friendly.

The Paramount Room can get a bit noisy at the bar, tables in back less so and the large nicely appointed, in a disco(ish) fashion, downstairs lounge has been library quiet the couple of times I've been down there. Bets are off if there is a private party.
Enjoy,

Post #5 - August 7th, 2008, 8:00 amEnded up at Juicy Wine Co, as planned , and they had a very limited bar, but it worked for a few vodka drinks for my friend. It was very pleasant upstairs, and some of the meats and cheeses they were bringing out looked fantastic, although, I didn't get to taste any as we were there strictly for wine and conversation,hopefully, next time, I can have a few samples of the food.

Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
