Drinks & Nightlife
Ace is a restaurant with a great bar atmosphere and delicious asian/american fusion style offerings. AND you can rent ping pong tables for the night. This area on 17th Ave is a great place for a more low key night, instead of a clubby/high energy night. *Tip* Get the tiger wings for a late night snack!
