Don’t let this Ivy-league name, with its vintage lights and ski lodge den in dusty rebellion, deceive you into thinking it’s a place for the aspiring e.e. cummings or next Norman Mailer. The draw here is live music—mostly blues and rock ‘n’ roll—and a big front bar featuring American-made craft cocktails shaken and stirred by tattooed and torn-jeans-sporting bartenders. Smokers are welcome to indulge their vice in an enclosed outdoor alley accessible through a back entrance, while high rollers can reserve tables and private areas. Even a Harvard degree won’t get you access if you don’t heed the dress code, which is discouraging of shiny shirts, shorts, flip-flops and logos.
