Food scene
Every time a new place opens, Chris & I make sure we try it so we know where to & where not to go! Ask us anything because I’m sure we have been there (if not, it’s on our list to still try - new places every single week 🫠)

If you are here it is worth the stop.
PS. They are usually booked up BUT you can come and sit at the bar with little to no wait. You can also split pretty much everything on the menu and have plenty.

Satellite Bar and Lounge
120 Greenfield StSeriously this bar is super cool, and they have a back like garden-open area type deal with lights and corn-hole. + a stage where they usually have some great live music. All-around awesome.
This place is brand-spanking new, and also super cool. This is in the new 15th street cargo district, which is very up and coming.

It’s a bar with dogs, you can’t go wrong. That’s it. That’s all I have to say.
Really fun ciders to try, the inside is o-k but they have fire pits outside so that’s chill
