Cleos Bar and Grill

Cleos delivers that perfect neighborhood sports bar energy with a patio that welcomes both your cigarette-wielding friend and your craft beer snob. The outdoor space strikes a balance between lively and laid-back, where you can catch a game without the claustrophobia of indoor viewing. Their beer list is impressively deep for a spot that doesn't make a big fuss about it, and the cocktails hold their own when you're ready to graduate from hops.

The full menu saves you from the dreaded "should we eat first?" debate, with bar fare that actually satisfies. Weekday happy hours draw a pleasantly diverse crowd, while weekend afternoons offer prime people-watching. Just don't count on snagging street parking without a few circles around the block—consider it your pre-drinking exercise. Reservations are your friend here, especially when any local team is playing.
