Chill spot to grab a drink -- the Hurricanes are authentic , and if you show your Gumbo Bros. receipt, you can get a few bucks off your drink!

They don't serve food but have Party Mix for their patrons. Love the feel. They have a patio and darts and they had $5 beer happy hour all night on a Tuesday. Pretty damn awesome. Crowd looks good.

Small neighborhood bar with a limited but good selection of American and international craft beers . Lots of whiskey and great music too.

Impressive beer selection , but what's more impressive is how knowledgable the bartenders are. Great place to try something new whether you're a beer connoisseur or a total rookie.
