Local coffee shops that supports local artists, musicians, and alternative performers. Turns into a bar with a venue at night. Sundays are great for Karaoke nights, and scope out Facebook to see what movie nights, comedy shows, or spelling bees they offer on random week nights.

Speakeasy bar above the Slippery Slope...a "bar within a bar" if you will. 70s theme with tucked away tables, dim lighting, groovy music, and cocktails out of a psychedelic movie. Don't miss this place! Long lines make it nearly impossible to get in on weekends, but stop by after dinner on a weeknight...just to know!

This place is like Cheers where everyone knows everyone, and no one who doesn't live within walking distance. Young dive bar where the owner is always one of the bartenders. The DJ spins vinyl records and most nights they have an event in the back, be it comedy shows on Wednesdays, free shows on Fridays, lip sync battles on Mondays, and so on.
