What people say, in short
Many people recommend Clarkwood, which several describe as upscale, and several praise its drinks; one especially likes the espresso martinis. The main caveat is noise: several find it loud, a few say it gets crowded, and a couple suggest booking ahead. One calls it one of the worst bar experiences they have had. Others are mixed: one had fun but would not suggest it, calling the scene loud and packed, and one says the drinks are good but the space feels club-like when busy.
