Sweet little dive bar not far from the house
My personal preferred spot to meet up with my friends that live in the hood, or just stop by to have a beer after work. They have a limited menu with panini's and soup, but it's hearty and good. Just a nice chill neighborhood spot with expansive windows, a killer jukebox, and a few tv's. Nice patio out back, partially covered, with a bocce ball court and a concrete ping-pong table.

Do you know what a growler is? It's a big jug to put beer in and take home, so no bottles, or bottle deposit, to deal with. I've got a number of growlers at home to choose from, just snag the size you want and make a run! Rotating taps for every taste.
