AMAZING rooftop patio! It's packed by 5pm because of the work crowd, but get there early to enjoy some sunshine. The rooftop closes around 9pm and indoors is a funky dance hall type of bar.

A Scottish brewery is taking over the UK and happened to open a bar near our homestead. A little pricy, but worth it. Delicious keg beers. Try the IPA!
