Peek at the murals in Jack Kerouac Alley

Step into a timeworn saloon where Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg once bent elbows over stiff drinks. Vesuvio's creaky wooden interior, stained glass, and candlelit mezzanine feel like boarding a pirate ship docked on Kerouac Alley. Grab a classic cocktail and head upstairs for a view of Columbus Street through fogged windows.
