If James Bond ever came to Cleveland, we bet he'd head straight for Kevin's, the glamorous, energetic and just slightly retro martini bar settled into the lower level of Pickwick & Frolic, downtown's premier entertainment complex. Done up in red, white and silvery metallics, the multilevel room is filled with nooks and crannies just right for clandestine canoodling over an imaginative martini, a high-end scotch, or even a cigar or two. (Those who need more sustenance can dine on anything from flatbread pizzas to prime-rib dinners.) Among the 'tinis, the specialty of the house is The Boz, a secret blend of vodkas, apple liqueur and certain unnamed ingredients. Order one, then be amazed as it pours itself out of a magical floating bottle, without the slightest touch of a human hand! When pondering such mysteries, it helps to remember that the bar is nestled inside the original sandstone foundation of the circa-1875 Euclid Avenue Opera House. Could it be that not all the spirits here come out of a bottle?
