Only wine, beer, and non-hard alcohol cocktails (wine tails) by night, but a great bar stop nevertheless. Comfy ambiance and a seemingly local crowd.

This place is the closest vibe (culturally, not literally) to a pub I've found in this neighborhood. And their Friday night DJ kicks ass.

Stacks of books will get you in the "studying" mood at this cafe by day/lounge by night. "Study snacks" like potato skins, housemade chicken salad, and milk & cookies are available starting at noon. Read more

Love the music playing in background here. The place has a chill vibe and the Sanfrangria is quite tasty. I need to come back for the Taco Tuesday special!

A great place to work outside of the office. They make great coffee drinks. After you’re done with work,you can switch to wine or beer.

It got popular recently. Packed on weekend nights now. It's still a great place to chill on week nights, though

Good music and atmosphere for casual hangout. The wall-mounted chairs are a bit too high and uncomfortable, so be sure to grab a spot at a regular table.

Love this place but the red wine is just no good. Tried again and again. Stick to white(?) or beer.

Four Barrel in the morning, wine bar at night. Chill space to meet up, co-work, or play the piles of board games on hand.

The only place I'll leave my house to go work and also the only place I'll take my headphones out and just listen to the in-house tunes. Groooooovy!
