Parkers Aly
Parkers Aly is located behind the Shinola Hotel. It is a pretty alley with a few bars in it. It is nice to go through it on the way to or from the The Belt/Z Garage On the south end is the nice Olin Bar & Kitchen and more down to earth Queens Bar. If you enter the alley from the south, immediately on your left is the Fancy Shinola Hotel ($$$$). You will first see a Green door that looks like a service door. Inside that door is one of those hidden bars called the Evening Bar. This is a small cocktail bar where people dress to impress and the drinks are pricey. After all, it is in the Shinola Hotel. The main floor of the Shinola Hotel is a bit of a maze but pretty cool to see. At the end of the alley is The Brakeman beer hall. Across the street (John R) at the end of the alley is the entrance to the famous Wright & Company.
