This upscale, contemporary bar opened Aug. 26, 2008. The walls are decked with art and the bar is stocked with more than eighty different bottled beers. For an after-work refresher, try one of their made-from-scratch mojitos. The happy hour features drink specials as well as food offerings. A recent rotation included steaks with Bearnaise sauce, tuna steaks and brats. If you prefer the outdoors, hit the patio for a view of the capitol. Or if you\'re trying to impress, treat your date to AJ\'s Kiss, a house specialty drink with ice cream, amaretto and creme de cocoa with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
