Standard Pour

This Uptown joint packs in a crowd looking for a cozy place to unwind from a long hard week. Though the main draw on a late weekend night is the stocked bar, this place doesn't neglect customers looking for something to munch on. The restaurant's infamous Moscow Mule pairs well with a soft pretzel or the Standard Burger. Watching your figure? Go for the Caesar salad or shrimp lettuce wrap filled. (See the full menu here.)

Standard Pour serves late-night eats Monday through Sunday until 2 a.m.

Another incentive to this dining experience: free Wi-Fi. (See the full menu here.)

The most popular item on the menu is the Spicy Tikka Chicken, made with the restaurant's signature rotisserie chicken. (See the full menu here.)
