About Humbug
Behind a black-and-white storefront on The Plaza, the room splits between a dark bar lined with red stools and a lounge with sofas, brick walls and a pool table. The drinks list is long and changes with the seasons, balancing creative twists with the classics; clarified milk punch and the espresso martini are the recurring recommendations. Food is limited to bar snacks, and the dressed-up Cheez-Its have their own following. The name hints at the holidays, when the bar goes fully themed. Reviewers stress that it never feels pretentious, and some regulars make the trip every couple of months just for the new menu. Hours start at four Wednesday to Saturday, running to midnight midweek and one on Friday and Saturday; Sunday is two to ten, and it is closed Monday and Tuesday. Drinks run about $20–30 a head, parking is easy, and it holds 4.8 stars from 285 Google reviews.
