169 Bar

Originally opened in 1916 as the "Bloody Bucket," this spot took on a new life under owner Charles Hanson, who layered in 1970s New Orleans design cues like indoor palm trees. Patrons can spread out across the indoor area, the backyard, or the covered street seating. Keep in mind that the bar serves cans only, with no draft beer on tap. The crowd at this 21+ venue can scale up quickly, leading to packed rooms, afternoon singalongs, and long queues for the bathroom.
