"Part cozy jazz haven and part Ethiopian restaurant run by sister-owners who greet newcomers and regulars alike; nightly live music requires no cover or drink minimum. The bar offers an unpretentious split of Prosecco and a champagne cocktail with Abyssinian bitters, while the kitchen stocks spices flown in from Addis Ababa and makes house injera paired with dishes like tibs wat (cardamom-scented sirloin simmered in berbere with clarified butter). The spot also anchors neighborhood events like a holiday toy drive and the Mardi Gras festival." - ByShakirah Simley
