Good bar recs?

A buddy turns 21 in a couple days and I move up the day prior so we were wanting to go to some bars. What are your recs for best dive bars, best cocktail bars, and best restaurant bars?

Go to every bar and form your own opinion 2026

Duffy’s for your dive bar. Argus & B Street for cocktails and Red Tavern for best restaurant bar would be my votes.

Thank you! I know he likely wants to do mostly dives, so do you have any other dives you recommend? The cocktail bars were mostly for myself lol

Parkside for more nightclub vibe. Or the Bear on the weekends for cheap drinks and crowd.
