From Barfly:

Rontoms
The vintage rumpus room vibe is the draw here, with garage-sale chairs and sofas creating little islands of conversation that help to offset the impersonal warehouse ambience. Rontoms is best suited to boisterous groups, since the bar iPod is usually cranked on the weekends, effectively squelching conversational nuance. Plenty of homegrown hootch on the drink menu (Aviation Gin, Clear Creek Brandy and New Deal Vodka, among others) and the bar staff is friendly and competent. Dig into a grilled cheese sandwich and zesty tomato soup combo during Happy Hour, or just clog your arteries entirely with a pot of cheese fondue. There’s no sign out front, so keep your eyes peeled for the elusive front door.
