Ben's Tune Up

It's hard not to feel hip at Ben's Tune Up, an almost completely outdoor bar and raman eatery converted from a bygone auto shop. Inside the 3,500-square-foot courtyard, folks take their pick of any number of upcycled seating options, including old truck seats, where they sip local beer and now sake, which is brewed onsite. Part of the fun of drinking at Ben's is appreciating the reclaimed décor, which sports repurposed wood, exposed brick, living walls and seating areas separated by ornate awnings. In the cooler months, everyone cozies around heaters and an electric fireplace while on hot, summer nights the courtyard's openness beckons the cool breeze floating down from the mountains.
