Fodor's Expert Review Black Bear Bar

This semi-divey, industrial-style 6,000-square-foot space has a long zinc bar, floors reclaimed from an auto-wrecking shop, and motorcycle parts decorating the back bar's mahogany shelves. Up front, a multipurpose space might be filled with art for a few months, then become an indoor skatebowl. Bands play the back room on weekends, and DJs spin vinyl every night. Weeknights are chill—you're more likely to find a few folks shooting pool than an all-night rager. But that's the great thing about Black Bear: you can easily find a vibe that suits you.
