Let’s start with the name – who DOESN’T want to have a drink at an Uptown Rambler’s Club? Everything else about this bar is right, too – booths and decor untouched by modern design sensibility, miles-long bartop, great live showroom with indie acts, friendly patrons, friendly staff, stiff drinks, low prices. Davey’s is what old-time drinking culture is all about. The Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson, can serenade you all the way there with her superlative version of the classic tune about a classic town. (DYK – Wanda’s 100 greatest hits are available for $5.99 – that’s 6 cents a song! New album produced by Jack White is none too shabby, either.)
