Kili:
The glowing wood-burning fireplace at the center of Kili’s cozy interior doesn’t melt the cool vibe here. Its smattering of tables and chairs remain in place long after the kitchen closes at midnight, but there’s just enough concrete floor space between them and the candlelit bar to allow patrons so inclined to get their collective grooves on, to the tune of the DJ spinning in the corner weekend nights. It’s a small and intimate set-up, and on busy nights, you may get more personal than you wish. If that’s not your bag, snag a spot on a red plush couch, admire the local art on the walls, and just, well, chill out.
