| - Sip is, quite literally, my favorite place outside of my home. Scratch that, sometimes I'd rather be at Sip! Here's why:
Kick ass staff-everyone that works here is super friendly. Alex has a magnificent beard. The owner is often on site, and he's super hipster and nice too! Not only do they know your name, they know your dog's name! Which brings us to reason #2.
Dog friendly-really, really dig friendly. Equal or more so than OHSO. They have water bowls on the patio, and the staff regularity comes out to play with your pups.
Ambiance-totally hipster in the best possible way. Mismatched thrift store furniture. I think the owner and his wife actually made the tables by hand. Lounge chairs are incredibly comfortable and placed around a coffee table, with end tables in between. This arrangement makes it the perfect place to park your tush for an afternoon of reading, or for a couple (or a couple of friends) to sit casually and talk. You often end up siting next to strangers, and it's never weird. I've struck up some amazing conversations with way!
Food-let's start with What the Buck Wednesday, where tamales are a buck and a buck off beer. Yes, you read that right. TAMALES! Better yet, they have vegetarian tamales and they are delicious. They have salads, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, pastries, and sandwiches (also with a veggie humus sand which, which you can order sans cheese for a yummy vegan option).
Coffee-Cartel coffee beans. Almond milk options. They know what they're doing over here.
Beer-they have a great selection of beer on tap, which they rotate regularly. I'm personally a porter/stout kind of girl, and only once have they not had one on tap. They even had pumpkin porter on tap in April! They also do mixed drinks and mimosa bar on Sundays.
Live music-pretty often. They have open mic nights as well. The music is usually acoustic and is one, at most, two person artists.
Yoga-during fall, winter, and early spring they do free yoga outside on Sundays at 9:00, partnered with Lulu Lemon. I'm a fan. It's beautiful and peaceful, then you can walk in and eat and drink.
See why it's my favorite place on earth?!
