In Short – Sassafras provides an unpretentious respite from the legions of Old City. A tin ceiling, tile floors and dressed-up staff make the bar here a perfect place to sit and nurse a martini. Dishes run the intercontinental gamut, from cheese tortellini to hummus and back to omelettes, with a few standouts such as the oddball verenlike (Mongolian version of Russian dumplings). Stick with burgers--beef, lamb, or ostrich--with a selection of cheesesand sauces.

Best gimlets in town.
by jossfan23
Always have a great time at Sass. I love the fireplace in the winter & you have to check out the upstairs bathroom.
- Pros: gimlets
- Cons: weekend evening crowds

Best classic bar in town
by m_
This is _the_ place to get excellent old-fashioned drinks, carefully prepared, and great classic burgers and fries. None of the "international" food ever looked v enticing to me, but if I were a vegetarian, I'd just go with a huge side order of fries. The place is completely unpretentious, with wonderful old tiles and an open fireplace that actually has a fire in the winter. Usually, it draws a very agreeable mixed crowd. The music is always good and unobtrusive. While there, don't forget to take a look at the upstairs bathroom.
- Pros: atmosphere, drinks and food, service
- Cons: None

Ah...Sass
by beccaroon
This is absolutely the best of the bunch. With a zillion bars to choose from I keep going back to Sass. No scene, great vibe and great look . Really comfortable. Can't say a bad thing about the place. Good drinks, good beers, and good food.
- Pros: food and drinks, comfortable, inexpensive
