Region:
Central District.

Happy hours:
Mon–Fri 4–8 pm,

Crowd: An entanglement of die-hard regulars, lanky hipsters,
and former patrons of Oscar’s II (the bar that originally occupied the
Twilight’s current space).

Romantic decor: Lush brown-carpet-upholstered walls, a
ceiling mirror.

Sunday-night enchantments: Affable karaoke DJ Steve, his
5,000-plus song selection, his furiously devoted legion of amateur
vocalists.

occasional revving and waving of a (bladeless) chainsaw.

Happy-hour drink specials: $1.50 PBR, $2.75 micros (such as
Dick’s Danger Ale or Manny’s Pale Ale), $3 imports (Guinness or Stella
Artois), and $2.50 well drinks.
