Favorite bars in downtown?
My girlfriend turns 21 this week and we’re going bar hopping. What’re some of your favorite places on Dickson or Block? Which bars trend more towards college kids, people in their 20s, people 30+, etc.? Also what’re some good places to eat for dinner/after bar hopping?
What's your go-to bar on Dickson
Infusion is pretty relaxed with Karaoke and not as many college kids (not that there is anything wrong with that)
🍽️ Post-Bar Bites
Plenty of great places for dinner or late-night snacks after bar hopping.
Best way to navigate downtown/the square
I like to park at the library (free) and then walk everywhere I want to see. Yeah it adds to the overall amount of walking, but it's *simpler*. I like simple.
