Le Voyeur has red and pink walls, framed crayon drawings, a wooden bar, mis-matched seats, and an amazing selection of beers and wine. And by amazing I mean different and plentiful. On tap you find the likes of Lagunitas, Boddington's, Hoegaarden, and then some OLY beer. The wine selection had a sheet of its own on the menu, delicately broken down by country. I loved it. Take a few steps behind the back wall of the restaurant, and enter "dive-city." Please, allow me to explain "dive-city." Dive-city is a different type of dive bar, one that Le Voyeur represents very well indeed. There's something gritty, unusual, down-to-earth, and non-scary about a "dive-city." It has walls that aren't black, yet they're still covered with posters promoting local shows. The barstools are wobbly and torn, yet they're red and glittery just the same. "Dive-city" is a scene right out of any random B-movie where the newly blossoming 1980s American "alternative" music scene can be played out. THAT'S Le Voyeur. It's seedy, it's alternative, it's unique, and it's wonderful.
