MARK SMITH / PVT Russ Rodgers, at far right, offers a quiet reception Wednesday night to show off his latest offering, a blues-jazz lounge called Tonic inside Paddy's Pub. From left, Amber Rickson, Larry Thompson, PVT ad reps Wilma Thompson (head turned) and Gail Smith are among the evening's guests. Rodgers noted the dress code: "Not that it's going to be too tough, but we are going to enforce it." The room will be open from 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. "We're looking for the after-dinner crowd," he said.
