Bari is actually a restaurant, but I wouldn't recommend a full-blown dinner here. Instead grab a seat at the bar, get a great cocktail or glass of wine, and have a beautiful antipasto.

Our best brewery, hands down. This new HQ downtown is fantastic... ample indoor and outdoor seating. Covered, uncovered. Just about the best pizza from Little Bettie. They even added seltzers for the low carb among us. And once you fall in love too, they have great merch.
