This subterranean hideaway is nestled in the basement of the historic Hearst building, a former newspaper printing room now adorned with vintage presses, typewriters, and framed news clippings. The basement-level lounge an exclusive feel—that is, until you join the chatty throng of single people lining the bar. (Strong, newspaper-themed cocktails take the edge off.) The 1950s-styled space is surprisingly spacious, complete with deep, red leather banquettes and a stage for live music. Stake out one of the dark corners or bust out your swing moves when the band starts to play.
