Sugar Mama's Bakeshop
1905 S 1st StFancy cupcakes, vegan cupcakes, yum
Mysteriously under the radar BBQ spot with a full bar. Their herbed pork ribs are some of the best I've had here, in my opinion, and the other stuff isn't too shabby either. Sides are tweaked by the chef, not straightforward, and slightly "fancy." Whiskey of the month is $5 at all times and $3 during happy hour. Tons of whiskey, full bar, incredible old building, beautiful bar, and decent outdoor area. They run out of BBQ towards the end of the night. Parking is really tough, so this would be a great one to Lyft to...and take advantage of that special whiskey.

Awesome honky tonk with variety in crowd and bands. It's not all country. They also host rockabilly, New Orleans, and weirdo bands. Great taco truck on the patio. Always a great time. Take a two-stepping or zydeco dance class if you're so inclined!

Blues isn't always my thing, but I love this place anyway. Great neighborhood joint a few blocks walk away. Fun crowd, great bands and backyard, a must. Music starts relatively early, around 8pm. They also have a legendary weekend brunch with live music.
