Bars we love
Within a 5 minute walk from our Midtown home, Nite Owl is one of the best bars in town. They've got some of the friendliest bartenders in town serving up a rotating seasonal drink list or PBR and Whisky. To top it all off they've got the best patio in town and some wicked good food (Pro tip: get the Tochos). Nothing better than a night here.
