This place maintains its hipster cool more than five decades after opening. Definitely get the tableside Caesar, a martini and some red meat. While the steaks aren’t dry aged, you’ll hardly notice while taking in the ambiance—besides, that’s not how the Rat Pack did it back then. 308 W. Sahara Ave. Daily, 4:30 p.m.-11 p.m. 384-4470.
