The Ship
Sail away into the night but try not to drown in drinks. Obviously had to throw in a boat reference considering that's the theme of the entire bar. Head down a hallway to find a dark stairway that leads you to the basement of "The Ship." Comfy booths and dim lighting, get lost in conversation with some good company. If you want to be above sea level, there is an upstairs area with a full bar as well that looks over the downstairs.
