Food scene
This is my absolute favorite local joint. Mainly burgers and salads and a good selection of appetizers. Gourmet ingredients are used, ALWAYS satisfied with food service. There is a nice patio that is dog friendly. Wait staff is awesome. last but not least, the beer selection is awesome. The bartenders are freaking amazing. Good brews and drinks.

Close to university
I am located close to the university, but I do not recommend to stay here if you wish to walk there. Uber/Lyft... maybe a $5.00 fare
