The Athletic Association is a great stop when you're downtown seeing the sights and are looking for somewhere to take a load off. There are actually five bars / restaurants in the athletic association, including the hotel lobby on the second floor with cozy fireplaces, or the rooftop bar at Cindy's with great views of the lake. It's a go-to spot for us downtown, whether we need somewhere to work and get a coffee, a fun bar to hangout with friends, or a really special cocktail. Recommend!
