Best "upscale" burgers in town. Locally owned, focusing on locally sourced ingredients. They offer chicken, turkey, tuna and vegetarian options aside from red meat. Fantastic burgers, a top notch bar with great cocktails and good local beer. The line moves quickly, with the added perk of ordering your drinks in line while you wait to order.

This place has perfected the rustic-chic vibe – think dive bar, but with chandeliers and candles. They’re known for their artisanal cocktails but there’s also a lesser-known mezcal bar upstairs. Whisler’s occasionally hosts live music, too.
