An unusual ambiance is offered by Legends, 27 W. Elm St., where guests can sip cocktails amid classic Americana and memorabilia.

Hazel’s restaurant, 28 S. School St., offers a relaxed, upscale environment for a friendly cocktail with a business associate. Hazel’s is also a fine choice for dinner — try the Scoozi.
