LBM

Nobody knows exactly what LBM stands for, but our guess is for something along the lines of Loud, Belligerent, and Moody. Service industry professionals opened this bar because they were tired of working for other people, and they now do whatever they want—such as playing Scandinavian heavy metal at all hours of the day. The bartenders here sling complicated cocktails, like the semi-sweet Star Stealer made with brown butter-washed brandy, sherry, balsamic fig, and walnut, drinks great for washing down the burger served on a focaccia bun. LBM gets too crowded on weekends for much conversation, but you’re not here to remember any details beyond the fake names you give the taxidermied deer heads on the wall.
