3. Henry Clay’s Public House

This New Orleans-inspired bar shakes craft cocktails and often has music perfect for dancing or taking in live jazz. Go for the happy hour specials and take a seat outside during fair-weather days.

5. Chevy Chase Inn

This chill dive bar has some of the best drink deals in town, but the bar is also known for its games. The mixed drinks are potent and the beer options are great too.

6. Arcadium Bar

Naturally, this is an arcade and bar all in one. They have craft beer on tap, tons of bottles and cans to choose from and mixed drinks–like mezcal margaritas–also. Enjoy the vintage atmosphere or take a seat outside for a pleasant evening.

7. Bluegrass Tavern

The Bluegrass Tavern is a traditional pub serving beer on tap and classic cocktails. But what sets it apart is its menu of more than 450 bourbons. This wooden tavern is certainly the place to order a bourbon flight or perhaps take your bourbon in a milkshake.
