This is the ultimate neighborhood bar. A good selection of draft beers, beer-and-a-shot combos, and a curated list of classic and special cocktails. Would you believe they make their own vermouth? They also have a short but tasty food menu.

It's the kind of place where you can walk in alone and find yourself in conversation with the person on the neighboring bar stool. They have live music on weekends in the warm weather, as well as a patio. My new favorite bar!

Friendly neighborhood dive bar with affordable drinks, and live music in the outdoor garden. Plenty of barfly’s to strike up a conversation with.

It’s a vibe
Not the hole in the wall I hold so dear to my heart. But it has a vibe and good music and cheep beer.
So this ol boy is sold.

Good spot to have a few drinks with friends. They have a nice outdoor space for live bands. Vibe is not too intense and folks are friendly.

Very small bar. Hooks under the bar are convenient.

Got the worst “Manhattan” I have ever tried in my life. When I told the bartender it was impossible to drink he just laughed, poured it into a different glass and added ice. Three other people at our table each took a sip and confirmed it was something absolutely disgusting. Left that full glass of something there..
