Bar Isabel
Portuguese
Stucco walls and a College Street window that swings open in summer give this Portuguese taberna-style bar its personality before you've ordered a drink. Cocktails split into Fresh and Sturdy categories, the food runs to tapas, house-cured meats, and offal for the more adventurous, and the staff move with the energy of people who actually want to be there. Casual, never fussy, and reliably packed.
