Rayo Bar & Lounge
Rayo is the final stop before walking into the State Fair, or the first stop after. We don't offer that as a warning, rather an emergency lever in case you get dragged to the fairgrounds one day against your will; tell 'em you'll meet 'em outside.
Rayo is a great bar with stellar bar food. You've likely never met a grilled cheese like the one here, and the play on the Filet o' Fish and McRib will haunt you at night (one of those good-type of hauntings). The drinks are well crafted and strong, if not a bit dangerous at times (they have a Fernet, tequila and mezcal night for scary cheap). Service is attentive.
The space can wear a lot of moods, from live music to DJ sets; neighborhood spot to a brunch scene on the weekend. It's whatever you need it to be, which, honestly, is the kind of bar we all need.
