The Local Bar and Cafe

“This is actually a hostel, but it hosts a cute cafe and bar up front.”

“The bartender was a lot of fun – smart and witty – he served up some great drinks (I stayed with sav blanc), and there was a nice array of craft beers.”

“Make it your choice in the evening for a relaxed atmosphere with entertainment or your morning coffee.”

  1. Another gem of LIC! This is actually a hostel, but it hosts a cute cafe and bar up front. After 5 pm officially (or really, whenever the bartender feels like it), there's cocktails, and before that there's beer and wine.

    Beer and wines are $5-7 and cocktails are affordable and under $10. The bartender can even make stuff off the menu.

    Around you, industrious 20-something year olds type on laptops and sip coffee. They could be from anywhere in the world — from Albania to Zanzibar. How does it go again? The world is your oyster. I also like their wall art — Renaissance and classical art work splayed in a modern art piece.

    I'm making this my new happy hour spot.

    PROs:
    Very quiet
    Affordable, inexpensive liquor
    Open early (I came around noon)
    Fun people all around

    CONs:
    Maybe TOOO quiet
