Why doesn't everyplace have tater tots? They're just so much better than French fries. Cheap drinks, decent food, cash only and live music. Turns out places like this still exist in the city.

Parkside has a little cafe open in the mornings and the cold brew is top notch from Sightglass.

Damn good venue, intimate, cozy, with room to grab a shot and a beer. Make sure you try their tots

Out back is a luscious patio that’s great for families looking for a stiff drink with a side of punk. Come here on a Sunday during brunch hours and you might think you’ve stumbled upon a hip playgroup

Being close to a band rules. Watch out for the slam holes. They will crush you and I had to put my leg up to show a kick to back them off. Shoved and racked myself on the guard rail at Prong. Anger.

The extra is is there for a reason: it stands for "edible." Meaning just this: come for the divey atmosphere, the constant parade of bands, the live-and-let-live crowd and the huge courtyard out back Read more
