Lafayette Grill & Bar: Opa! The Bakakos brothers make everyone feel welcome at this family-owned Greek grill and bar (with an emphasis on the grill). The homey dining room features walls adorned with rotating art exhibits, all of which are for sale. Up front, the small bar serves up standard cocktails but is far from the focus of the scene. Weekends see an explosion of culture with live traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern music accompanied by belly dancers on Friday nights. Saturday tango nights draw both experienced practitioners of this seductive dance and brave beginners who shell out $10 for admission and lessons. If this isn’t enough to entice the entire metro area to Lafayette Grill and Bar, here are two final words: free parking. |
