8. 4.0 Flask & Cannon (19 reviews)
   - Cute Vibe, Fun Drinks
   Spent 2-3 hours Bars & Clubs
   
   
   Stopped in for a drink on a Friday night and was greeted right away by the bartender, almost too quickly, as I panic ordered a drink instead of looking at their specialty cocktail menu, which had a lot of fun looking beverages on there. The marg I ordered was tasty though, on the smaller side, but very tequila forward, so at least it wasn't for not. What made this place special was the tiki-esque decor, the bowl of liquor I saw served to a table behind us and the badass octopus mural on the side of the building, geniusly lit up by black lights so it looked like it glowed in the dark. With the friendly service and cool vibes, I won't hesitate to come back here for a date night or gno, better prepared to order off the cool kids menu. See more..
