The rustic, exposed brick sets the tone at Lot 17. An eclectic, laid-back crowd can usually be found at this Bloomfield neighborhood Bar & Grille. The full-stocked bar is complemented by daily specials and a savoy, surprisingly non-bar-like menu. Lot 17 offers a private rental space equipped with all of the bar's amenities, but the bar's healthy list of both draft and bottled craft, imported and domestic beers is what singles come here for. Beer aficionados are sure to meet their hop-loving matches at Lot 17.
