Bar at the Precinct

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of his first restaurant, The Precinct, restaurateur Jeff Ruby has expanded it with the addition of Bar at the Precinct. The bar, located upstairs from the Columbia Tusculum restaurant, was designed to have an upscale neighborhood bar feel, with red leather banquettes, an antique Brunswick wooden bar, historical signage and flat-screen TVs. Diners can have a drink before or after dinner downstairs, or the bar can be a destination in and of itself, as it offers a mix of appetizers such as beef tenderloin kabobs and shrimp cocktails in addition to its full bar.
