It doesn't look
like much from the outside, but this 1876 building holds a colorful past - it's been a bar,
a brothel and a coffin storage warehouse. Today it's a casual restaurant with an interest-
ing brick interior full of large oil paintings. Food choices include a dozen salads, sand-
wiches, natural beef burgers and pasta dishes. There's a historic bar, plus live piano mu-
sic on Friday and Saturday from 7pm to 9pm.
