The name, arcane bookie slang for interest charged on a bet, nods to a time when the neighborhood was full of wiseguys who might stop in for a scotch, neat. Today's Vig, a fine-enough lounge, uses long, low banquets, leather tuffets and votive candles to set the mood. Weeknights, when the music starts out bluesy, find a refined after-work drinking crowd. Solid DJs throw together an eclectic mix every night of the week after about 9:30pm.
A favorite of birthday revelers and office partiers, the Vig takes reservations for individual tables or the entire dark velvet-swagged back room. It's a late-night place, so if you're in need of a martini at, say, 3am on a Wednesday, you're in luck. Expect a different crowd of weekend good-timers, though the charming bartender assures that the knucklehead factor stays low. But by the wee hours, the Jagermeister shots and the martinis all get along anyway. |
