ERA

Founded by Aklilu Senbeta—its name drawn from his children’s initials alongside his own—the neighborhood spot blends a classic corner bar with a dedicated dining room and patio out back. At the front, drinks unfold around flat screens, TouchTunes, and a pool table, before giving way to spiced lamb tibs, doro, and combo platters paired with tangy injera, served well into the night. Midweek and weekend gatherings bring their own draw, packing the room for Wednesday quizzo and Sunday karaoke.
