The Scene
Decked out in bright neon, Casablanca remains a favorite gathering spot for both the gay and straight social crowds. Meet, mingle, share a cocktail or two; there are a plethora of drink specials here, and by the end of the night you'll be standing elbow to elbow with the hot, the hip and the style-savvy. There's no dance floor at Casablanca's, but that doesn't affect the level of activity at the bar. Happy hours keep the party going every week night from 4pm to 8pm, so this Grace Street gathering place often kicks off an evening of bar-hopping.

The Food
One of Casablanca's claims to fame is its booming lunch business. With a full lunch and dinner menu, customers can dine on everything from sub sandwiches to burgers to steak--and it's all meticulously prepared.
