Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips?

Little Woodrow’s Midtown

There is something to be said about an establishment that that is frequented by celebrities such as James Franco. Every Thursday night, Little Woodrow’s Midtown puts on turtle-racing competitions. Whether you’re placing your bet on Thursday, or taking a gamble with one of the 50 beers on draft any other night of the week, Little Woodrow’s Midtown is the place to be.

Inspired by their grandmother’s fondness of the dogwood tree, the owners of The Dogwood created a ‘homegrown’ concept incorporating Southern-style charm and hospitality. Walk upstairs to enjoy drinks at the rooftop bar, or sit inside for a funky fresh menu with options like risotto lollipops or chicken and waffles.

Howl at the Moon

Howl at the Moon is a lively party with dueling pianos, fantastic drinks and bucket specials. If you’re looking for a change, pull up a seat and be entertained with this high-energy show centered around your favorite party anthems and dance hits. If the music inside gets to be too much, take a break on the front patio overlooking the street. You’re bound to make some new friends.

13 Celsius

13 Celsius is a different scene from the typical Midtown hustle. The pace here is a little slower but much more cozy, with the inside offering a warm environment full of velvet couches and private-sitting areas. Not just a place for wine snobs and aficionados, the staff at 13 Celsius are great at suggesting the right wine for you. You’ll be a wine connoisseur before you know it.
