The Penrose Bar

While known as a quaint first date spot and late-night hangout, this neighborhood venue also serves an underrated weekend brunch. The drink menu features a hefty beer and whiskey list. The space tends to get loud and crowded, especially on weekends, making conversation difficult at times. The kitchen is open nightly until 3 am to accommodate late diners, but note that the venue becomes strictly 21+ after 8pm.
