Brunch fave. They have the best Bloody Mary. They’re known for their gigantic baked pancakes with strawberry butter. The French toast is also good. The brunch menu is super reasonably priced.
For lunch/dinner the mussels and burger are tasty.

National Sawdust
80 N 6th StQuaint live music and performance arts space.
It’s literally around the corner and worth popping your head in even for a few minutes. There are super no name bands that play in a rail car style room. The backyard is something you would find at a neighbors space.
* the drinks aren’t great, stick to beer.
