A cigar bar with a divey feel, always full of interesting characters. Go during the day or early in the evening. (Late at night it transforms into a trashy club!)

This local brewery used to be an automotive repair shop back when the hippies were traveling West on Route 66 (now Central Ave.) They have a great selection of beer, but I'd get food somewhere else.
