Power
House
is
a
story
of
what
once
was,
and
what
will
be.
What
it
is
now,
is
a
solid
casual
spot
for
a
classic
cocktail
or
a
beer,
though
it's
a
polished
shadow
of
it's
former
incarnation
as
a
true
dive
bar
with
darts
in
back
and
swivel
seats
and
booths
with
their
inner
cushions
proudly
showing.
The
drinks
are
good
enough—better
yet,
they're
good
and
served
stiff,
which
garners
extra
points—and
the
tone
is
reaching
to
Hollywood's
golden
years,
when
Billy
Wilder
and
Bogie
might
have
shared
a
spot
at
the
bar
planning
a
noir
we've
yet
to
see.
I
used
to
like
the
old
Power
House
a
lot.
It
was
a
real,
no
frills,
what
you
see
is
what
you
get
kind
of
place.
The
kind
of
place
that
dots
corners
in
most
American
cities.
The
new
Power
House
is
a
little
too
glossy,
a
little
polished,
and
trying
a
little
too
hard,
but
it
gets
most
things
right,
and
it's
still
a
reliably
quiet
spot
for
cocktail
and
conversations,
which
is
good
enough
for
me
any
day.
Now
if
only
they'd
bring
the
dart
boards
back...
