Don’t let the somewhat secretive entrance, baroque name, dark wood and chandeliers fool you, Bad News Bar is about as comfortable as it gets. There’s a basement-bar nonchalance to the place, as if head-man Justin Burrow is just having a few friends over for drinks. (He may even ask you to flip the record if he’s busy with something.)
