Glenwood

Glenwood delivers that perfect blend of backyard charm and neighborhood cool that's increasingly rare in the city. The patio feels like your most stylish friend's garden party—string lights swaying overhead while locals debate IPAs and share takeout from the spot next door. Their craft beer selection rotates frequently enough to keep beer nerds interested, and the cocktail program punches well above its weight for a place where you can bring your dog.

The BYO food policy is a blessing—pair that small-batch sour with anything from the taco truck that parks nearby on weekends or the pizza joint across the street. When live music kicks in (usually Thursdays through Saturdays), the vibe shifts from casual hangout to proper scene, though you can still find folks huddled around board games in the corner.

Just don't count on finding street parking easily, especially when there's a band playing. Worth the rideshare, though.
