All Soul's Lounge
A neighborhood bar with an old-school tiki-esque–but not–kind of vibe. Friendly people and one of the best jukeboxes on the north shore. Kitchen bangs out custom hotdogs and grilled cheeses until 11PM, and it's 21+ after 9. First come, first serve; with limited outdoor seating options in nicer weather.
Mon-Thu 5PM-1AM, Fri-Sun 11:30AM-1AMFood $8-12, beer & wine $8, cocktails $12

Notch Brewing
Notch focuses on central European style "sessionable" beers, rarely exceeding 5% alcohol. The brewers are quite talented and often win awards. There are a few noshables here like pretzels and Bavarian style brats, but feel free to bring whatever food you want in. Non-alcoholic sodas and coffee also available. The Biergarten is open year-round with a 200 person capacity. Dogs allowed, children allowed, snow allowed. No reservations, first come first served.
