This is my favorite place to go out. Plenty of pool tables, full bar, good beer including a lot of local stuff. If you go earlier in the day while the sun is out, it's a great place to relax. It's quiet then and there are TONS of plants and sunlight.

Sister Bar is right below the Anodyne and has the same owners. They have a lot of good live music with pretty small cover charges most of the time.
