8e's Bar aimed for a decade that is just retro enough to have come back around to attract a younger crowd, too - such a great concept that it has spawned Second-Place winner 9d's, featuring its own decade. Music, ambiance, like-minded conviviality: the place to go for dancing in good company. (You know who you are.) (Winner: Favorite Place to Dance)
