Very popular bar with the LARGEST patio, they feature things like a huge neon tree, hammocks, food trucks, movie nights, table service and cool outdoor movie via projector. If you're a fan of craft beer they have a TON on tap. It's a beautiful space. There's also a pizza joint (my personal favorite) right next door and they will bring your pizza over to you at the bar.

Absolutely beautiful bar in a historic building. This place is sexy and intimate and has all the wines and whiskeys you can think of. Bartenders are excellent and will not steer you wrong. Their bar bites are awesome too. It's also only a 10 min walk.
