For when you want brunch now and don't want to wait, this place has good food but isn't as popular. I especially like the biscuits and gravy. If it's nice ask to sit on the little patio in the back.

This divey-but relaxing beer-lover's bar has a large selection of sour and imported beers. It's a cozy place to spend an evening playing board games when it's raining. They don't have food but don't mind you bringing food in - I usually bring in Hot Mama's pizza.

This is the ultimate beer-lover's bar (and it usually has a few good ciders too). It used to be a funeral home, and was the location of Bruce Lee's funeral. If you're a Bruce Lee fan, his grave is close by too at the Lake View Cemetery by Volunteer Park.

I love, love this fancy speakeasy bar. You can't just stop in - you need to make a reservation in advance by texting a number on their website. The bar is unmarked and you need to ring the doorbell to be let in, so it really does feel like you're stepping into a speakeasy. Very romantic.
