This laundromat-turned-neighborhood bar is known for its cozy vibe, fantastic music, and delicious shepherd's pies. This hangout is the ideal place if you're looking to hear some local music--especially if you're a fan of soul, rock, jazz or classic country. The food is hearty bar fare that will keep you full, the music is free, and regulars pack in regularly to line the walls. The size of the bar is pretty small, so come early and be prepared to wait for a seat. Come in on Tuesday for pie and pint night: For $10 you can get a pint of beer and a shepherd's pie!
