"Contrast" best characterizes Air Conditioned, its atmosphere retro yet modern and its palette warm yet sexy. This hip interior hides behind an unassuming exterior, marked only by a small "Air Conditioned" sign that inspired the bar's name and is the sole remnant from the building's previous occupants.
Air Conditioned, situated between the University Heights and Normal Heights neighborhoods and one block south of Adams Avenue, is a chic alternative to the overwhelming Gaslamp scene. At Air Conditioned, you avoid the Gaslamp crowds, traffic, high cover fees and pricey cocktails. Attentive bartenders masterfully concoct powerful cocktails at the large bar, the DJ spins catchy tunes, and the walls are adorned with classic James Bond posters. Oftentimes, movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Diamonds are Forever are screened on one wall, enhancing the bar's retro flair.
Happy hour specials from Monday through Friday, a great atmosphere, eclectic music, professional service and some fantastically strong drinks all make Air Conditioned worth visiting.
