Mandrake is a small dive bar with a good vibe. If you’re just popping in after a show at an gallery on a Thursday night or shaking it at their Saturday night Bashment boogie you’ll never be disappointed. The drinks are great and the bartenders are friendly. There is the bar area in the front, great little outdoor seating area in the back  (but it closes at 11PM). DJs play nightly and there is always random / wonderful cult favorites projected on the wall.
