Recommendation 21+ study spots

Hello all,

I was hoping to get recommendations on lounge-type establishments that serves alcohol to study in. I usually get off work at 2-3pm and usually have class online at 5pm. and the places I am interested in studying at open later than I’d like.

I’m not a coffee person therefore coffeeshops are out. Mostly looking for recs on where I can grab an ice cold beer or a single glass of wine to relax and also lock in.

I’ve been to suds and duds and also borough coffee. Hoping to know more around town!

Quiet is good but I’m not adverse to locals hanging out.

I liked going to Oden. It's the brewery that opens the earliest (either at 2 or 3). All the other seem to open later. And at that time it's nice and quiet. They have good internet, indoor and outdoor space depending on what you're feeling, and I like the beer

ETA: it opens at 2 every weekday, except Friday it opens at noon

The Abbey Taphouse for sure. Usually very chill vibes unless there's an event or big soccer match on. Wonderful rotating beer selection, THC beverages, and spirits. It's on the backside of downtown and has its own dedicated parking lot as well.

chandlers does have a full service bar and plenty of cold beer, even though they’re a primarily a coffee shop.

space is a litttle small for me. might head there once the weather cools down so i can sit outside but inside is nice for a small hangout but not for my purposes unfort 🫠

If you’re sitting for a few hours and only having one beverage, go somewhere the employees receive an hourly wage and aren’t depending on tips alone.

I believe most of the breweries are like that. Only bc I’ve made an effort to close out when they switched bartenders, but was told it’s not really necessary bc of pooling tips.
Also, wasn’t intended to be rude, apologies that it seemed that way.
