The Study
The Study is the Friday and Saturday night name for the Bodega Bar on the second floor of the ACME Hotel on Ohio Street, one level above The Berkshire Room. It's the quieter upstairs version: incandescent bulbs, copper pipes, a smaller bar and a tighter menu.
If The Berkshire Room is the main event, The Study is where you go when you want the same quality without the same crowd. It only opens on weekends, which keeps it from becoming too well-known. The Dealer's Choice program that defines the Berkshire Room extends up here.
