O'Connors: For a more divey alternative to Great Lakes or The Gate, check out the scene at O’Connor’s. Check your cheesy neighborhood spirit at this plus-sized bar’s door—you can chat about the mommy and me book club over at Tea Lounge. Twenty-somethings frequent this local watering hole to mull over Jack Kerouac and bottles of beer. This is not a “chat with the friendly bartender” type of place, but if you’re chill, a few rounds could get you a buyback. If you’re not really a drinker, that’s okay, but with little else but tables, beer, and music, you may have to BYO Scrabble or something. |
