"The Butterfly Bar at the Vortex Theater in Cherrywood features a dark cozy interior, but the real draw is the outdoor beer garden, perfect for sunset drinks. Bonus: one of the city’s best Italian trucks, Patrizi’s, is parked on the patio. And there are two roaming cats. There are indoor and outdoor areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
