I woukd agree. That said, I have had particularly good experiences with this at Cask Republic (RIP), Zinc, Barcade, Rudy's, and on the right night: BAR (over on the right), Geronimo, Elm City Social (downstairs), and Ordinary.

Granted that was about 5 years ago, based on where my apartment was located, and I'm also pretty comfortable going solo most places, but these stuck out.
