Highlander

Description:

• Jolly and diminutive Fazla opened this warm-hearted pub in May 2001, which owes its name to the popular series, after Fazla spotted Christopher Lambert one day on the marina. Set slightly back from the water's edge, the outdoor cafe looks suspiciously like a Fortunoff patio display, in no small part thanks to the artificial fountain set within an outdoor round bar. Indoors, however, is pure Highlander, from the leather couches, to the dartboard, to the deep manly colors. Weekends usher in live music, but early evening hours can still be enjoyed with the house cocktail: Russian coffee with vodka and cream. Daily 8am to 3am; shorter hours in winter.
