Casa Film Bar

Do you know what goes really well with beer? Movies. That’s why you need to head over to Casa Film Bar. Heaven for film buffs looking for cult and international movie releases (rentals available too), you can drink while enjoying theme nights, like Twin Peaks night or a Bollywood showcase. Taste 20 draft brews on tap and over 300 craft beer bottles, or take one home in a growler for a perfect nightcap.

OBON
If nationally-acclaimed cocktails are your thing, then head directly to OBON. Famous for its recent invention of the Space Oddity, a visually-appealing cocktail featuring squid ink and edible flecks of pearls dedicated to the late David Bowie, you can taste expertly crafted beverages that match the restaurant’s level of sophistication and attention to detail.
The Shelter
While having a reputation as a former fallout shelter built during the Cold War, the truth of the matter is The Shelter has always been the local watering hole. You’ll feel safe from the outside world in the windowless room that’s heavy on the kitsch, like velvet paintings and a continuous broadcast of 60s-era B movies. DJs complete the mood with music that evoke the era, making The Shelter the perfect place to enjoy a classic cocktail when you want to take a break from modern life.
Good Oak Bar
-
Love craft beer and a locally-sourced menu of wines? Then head on over to the Good Oak Bar. Located in in the historic Rialto Building, you can enjoy locally-sourced gourmet grub (including avocado toast and guacamole & chips) in a cozy but elegant atmosphere - perfect for date nights and relaxing with friends.
