As seen on Man Vs. Food-- Go get a Don Juan for breakfast! The best horchata in town. Don't be surprised if there is a line- but we have never waited more than 20 minutes.

This is a great place to hit more "hipster" style bars. Usually there's some music and the drinks are cheap :)

Very laid back and affordable, this bar is the original home to the East Side King food trailer, (in the backyard of the bar.) I highly recommend the Fried Brussel Sprout Salad!
