TIPS

AskMen 9/3/10
The neighborhood eatery is closing down T Street so we can dig on swine & enjoy music. We can even cheer on the competitors in the Barback Olympics or make a donation to the Fillmore Arts Center.

By night, Saint-Ex is the bar with all. Weekdays is perfect for a drink and chat at the main bar, come weekends, the downstairs dance floor ha a DJ and is packed all night.

Head to the basement lounge to hear DJs spin a variety of music, from Brazilian and soul sounds to more upbeat party music on weekends.
