The lower level of the Pickwick & Frolic complex hosts Cleveland's coolest new hidden hang-out spot: The city's only champagne bar, located in Kevin's Martini Bar, the red-and-white subterranean lounge. While techno and dance music pulse gently, you can rub elbows with some fellow fans of the bubbly, soak in the space-age decor, and sip over 60 varieties of wine. If you just want a glass, the bartenders pour three special flights daily, with 20 more pours available; Moët & Chandon is a specialty, and it flows like (sparkling) wine every Friday and Saturday.
