Neighborhoods: Theate District

2015 Winner: Jacob Wirth

The glittering marquees fail to mention one of the neighborhood’s choice sources of entertainment: this dark-wooded 19th-century piano bar, where ivories are tickled and stein-swinging guests belt gloriously off-key tunes. Named for a Boston businessman who was the first Anheuser-Busch distributor, Jake’s may be a bit touristy, but it’s a truly festive, old-school, German-inspired beer hall of the cheap-suds-and-spicy-sausages stripe. No wonder we come back for encores.
