Great local and regional bands play here. Up and coming. Great sound system. Don't be fooled by the exterior - it looks much better on the inside.

Super venue for weddings and/or receptions. It was a public library in a previous life, and was luckily saved from destruction when the new library was built in the 1970s.

Barack Obama, Ben Affleck are two previous students at this liberal arts college. It is a beautiful oasis, even if you just want to walk around. There are a lot of free or low-cost events during the Fall and Spring semesters. oxy.edu/calendar

Four Cafe offers deceptively good food. Walk up order counter right inside the door, but great service and very tasty food! They have great soups, salads and sandwiches. I haven't tried other menu items, but this is a nice spot! Yum!

There are a few Thai restaurants, but this is our clear favorite in Eagle Rock. They took a beautiful house and transformed it into a great restaurant. There's outdoor and indoor seating. You can also order takeaway. There's a small parking lot in the back, accessible via an alley, if you can't find parking on Colorado.

The lines are long sometimes (make sure that you take a number right inside the door!), but the wait is worth the wait. Very reasonable prices.

Sightseeing
The old observatory still functions, but now there's a top-notch astronomy museum underneath and many nights they setup smaller (yet very powerful) modern telescopes in the area in front of the observatory. Even if you don't go for the science, go for the city views or start your hike, as there are many trails nearby. Weekends and astronomical events cause even more parking problems than normal, so you may have to park and walk. There's a cafe there, however, do yourself a favor and order takeout someplace else and bring it there. No alcohol.
