My boyfriend lives on SE Belmont just 2 blocks from The Aalto, which is great because it means we have a bar with nearly perfect ambiance and good drinks for those nights when you want to go have a drink and feel worldly and cosmopolitan, but you don't really want to GO anywhere. The Aalto is sleek and chic; minimalist, but comfortably so. Drinks are reliably good, if a little bit strong. Sit in the window and you can watch drunk people stumble in and out of Belmont's less hip establishments.
