"No invite is required to get the feel of hanging out in someone’s spacious backyard thanks to Avondale’s Central Park Bar. The dive bar’s 3,500-square-foot space boasts a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs plus porch swings, a bumper pool table, and a covered outdoor bar. Swing by during happy hour from 4-7 p.m. Monday through Friday when everything except shots is half price." - Samantha Nelson
