Drinks & Nightlife

This place has great wine and beer and is super close to the house. The chef is a friend and they have a limited menu of well-executed dishes plus great charcuterie. Small, dark, homey...a lil pricey

Tuesdays half-off margaritas plus an awesome burger deal and their guac, salsa and chips are addictive, tacos are cheap and filling if you get a few. Beer + shot deal is unbeatable too. Low pretension

Food Scene

Southern grub, refillable coffee, very cool interior...not for the foodie, but more greasey spoon. Super close and on the cheaper side. Fried chicken, eggs etc.

Everything you want in new hipster dining. Vegan trucker bowls...often closed so check times and go early if doing for brunch. Not great for parties larger than 4.
