Despite the Double Barrel's moniker and its broad
selection of canned swill (tallboys of Pabst, Rainier, Oly, Hamm's and
High Life are served alongside a decent tap list and quirky house
cocktails), this isn't a place for shotgunning. When the owners of Gold
Dust Meridian and Club 21 took hold of the bar at Division's five
corners—forever ending the succession of nondescript karaoke 'n' despair
joints too long a quiet fart amid Southeast's Restaurant Row—they
transformed the premises into a burly, burnished, cheekily imagineered
luxe saloon splitting the difference between Victorian men's club and
bear-trapper's lounge. With vintage shuffleboard, a central fireplace
and a small forest of reclaimed wood, the effect is rather like the
monthly happy-hour concerts from Pete Krebs' new old-country band: an
elegant nod to the past rendered with such outsized charm that
authenticity seems beside the point.
Happy hour: 2-7 pm Monday-Friday, all day Sunday. $1 off wells and wine, 50 cents off drafts, $5 food specials.
Entertainment: Rear patio, sidewalk tables, pinball.
