ERA is a cozy, low-key spot on Poplar Street offering a unique dining experience. The 360° bar features a retro vibe, and the menu showcases tasty Ethiopian cuisine. The beer selection is reasonably priced, and the food is a highlight, with options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free diners. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for drinks, karaoke, and quizzo nights. The owners are friendly, and the spot is kid-friendly, with fun, hand-eating options for children. Visitors often enjoy an early dinner with a beer, choosing dishes like beef and rice or the bigger plate with injera, which are consistently delicious. The place is unpretentious and reliable, offering a break from typical bar fare like fries and wings. It also features a pool table and hosts quizzo and karaoke nights, providing a fun and affordable night out. The service is friendly, and many guests appreciate the relaxed, dive bar atmosphere, making it a favorite for both locals and newcomers.
