BarFly's Review of The Paragon
Outstanding bartenders put on a good show in this cigar friendly, well-stocked, elegant bar, catering to the 30+ crowd. Nice fireplace. Live jazz Thurs - Sat, no cover. $4 quality well at all times.

Had some drinks and apps in the bar last week and really liked it. The calamari was awesome and my Margarita was delicious. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere is excellent. Great overall, if you can stomach the whole Pearl Yuppie thing.
I think this place rocks!!! The staff goes beyond "above and beyond". They are super friendly and make you feel like family. The food is consistently tasty. The drinks, though, are the reason we patronize Paragon. They are creative and Bob (the head bartender) hand infuses the vodka himself. The "Official Barfly Review" needs to be updated though. It is all non-smoking and they have very little live music as of late. Unless there is a major downturn, I will always be a faithful patron.
