Great local distillery, bar and bottle shop. Good cocktails served in a renovated historic building with an industrial/modern vibe. Hang out on the outdoor patio space at the edge of the warehouse district.
A really fabulous art gallery located within Sage College campus. A nice airy, huge space, thoughtful exhibitions featuring a diverse group of contemporary artists. The openings are fun and usually free. Keep an eye out for their pop-up Biergarten events in the spring and fall.
Large beer-focused bar with great food housed in a historic former police station building. Great patio for gathering with nice city views. Free little pizzas with your drink order. Head downstairs after to the (sort of) secret Speakeasy for a 1920's inspired cocktail.
Member-owned co-op grocery store with incredible local/seasonal produce, extensive bulk section, hot food bar, deli, cafe and wellness section. Classes, too.
