Wendell
This spot is Permanently Closed.
It’s a shame that the Wendell flies so far under the radar. Maybe it’s because it’s on the same block as The Varnish. Or maybe it’s because there’s not much in the way of signage, and the only telltale sign is the bouncer with a pitbull named Willis sitting out front. Inside, though, you’ll find friendly bartenders making excellent cocktails, and a big crowd of people who stopped in for an after-work drink, and won’t stumble out until midnight.
