The Ox Tavern

At this neighborhood tavern, the space has a small-restaurant vibe with limited seating, though long windows open wide on warm evenings to catch the breeze. The kitchen backs up its menu with a concise burger board—featuring creations like the Alamo burger stacked with a fried egg and onion ring—and dishes like mussels in a Thai curry coconut sauce. The bar serves homemade ginger lemonade alongside beer and wine, and Sundays occasionally bring a live band to the room.
