Bada Bing

One of two possible scenarios awaits you at Bada Bing: show up for happy hour or at dinnertime and the atmosphere is more like a sports bar, with TVs ringing the barroom tuned to various games and decent prices for an okay selection of beer, wine (the house pinot noir is surprisingly good), and mixed drinks to wash down your Italian-inflected pub grub with. But later on at night the vibe becomes more traditionally "Chippewa-esque": the music is cranked up (there's no dance floor, though); the dress code comes into effect, and bouncers appear at the door.
