The Black Cat

The Edendale is the only thing I've added to this guide that is not walking distance from the house. I added it because it's my favorite bar - great drinks and a great neighborhood bar atmosphere. It's a big place with a restaurant with good food as well, but I like to go early and get a spot at the big bar. Friendly bartenders, good music playlist, great drinks. 30s, 40s, 50s age crowd. Might skew a bit younger on the weekends.
