"This hybrid venue offers coffee by day, and turns into a laid-back lounge-y bar in the evenings, complete with live music and DJs. Bites include shakshouka and goat cheese-topped flatbread and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus. Don’t skip on the draft cocktails, like the Thai Me Down, made with bourbon, nitro Thai tea, and bitters." - Brittanie Shey
