First look: Level Dining Lounge

Drink up: Level Dining Lounge

The Short North has a new toy.

The gay-friendly Level Dining Lounge offers full fine dining and late-night lounging. The martini is the bar's specialty, with a list that could rival any club in New York or Los Angeles.

The menu carries everything from shrimp scampi to hot wings. Taking over the former RJ Snappers location (on the corner of Lincoln and High streets) the bar is another posh night life attraction much like Union Bar + Food just down the street, except in place of a large outdoor patio there's an fully furnished upstairs lounge. Head over to Level if Union is too packed for comfort or if you're just looking for a classy place to have a bite and a drink.
