// RED KEY TAVERN, since 1933, was named one of Esquire's Best Bars in America May 9, 2007 “Since 1951 the bar’s late proprietor Russ Settle was famous for his list of ‘the rules’ that every patron must follow. No feet on the furniture, no chairs in the aisle, cash only, hang up your coat, use your indoor voice, don’t swear, and, most importantly, Russ is always right! The bar, which is frequented by locals, touring musicians, and writers like Dan Wakefield, is known for its ice cold bottled beer and straightforward cocktails.” _Shannon Darnall, The Daily Meal : 150 Best Bars in America 2015 //
