Bare Bones Cafe & Bar

My favorite brunch spot! It's generally pretty quiet, which I appreciate. The staff is wonderful every time I'm here. The food is simple and always great quality. It's kind of a no-nonsense place, hence the name, but they're not rude about it or anything. They have board games if you want to stay a little longer, and the music seems to always be boppin' without being too loud for sensitive ears. It would have been cool for the murals to also have bones, but the murals are cool regardless 😋

An exceptional little cafe & bar. The cook and bartender are excellent. The atmosphere is "dive bar" is intentional and I can only guess beloved by the regulars. I would be a regular too if I was closer. The grill work is a exceptional, a masterful show of temperature. Creating the perfect cheese melt with a dark and crispy fridge and no burn. This place isn't going to win any michelin stars but definitely shouldn't be skipped. A great place to meet some friends.

The Bare Bones Cafe side is a great place to grab a coffee and chill with your laptop. And then if you are ready for a beer or cider, you can head over to the Bar side. Stomach rumbling? A small but tasty menu of treats will fill your stomach, and at a fraction of those McMonalds ripoff joints around town. The staff is always friendly and cool. But then WAIT. In the back of the bar is about 4 pinball machines and one of those sandy shuffleboard thingies! The atmosphere is chill, the ourdoor seating is great, and yes, there is a giant werewolf on site, in case you were wondering. I'm not sure what his name is, he doesn't talk much. If you find out what it is, please be sure to post it in your future 5 star review.

I'm not vegan by any means, but the grilled cheeses here would make the idea palatable even to me. Whether you're looking for a dark bar to keep working on your novel in, or meeting someone for what will inevitably be an awkward first date (leading to an even worst second one) - I can promise the drinks (or slushies, time of year depending) are worth the stop. Great staff, and the outdoor seating is abundant (covered and uncovered options).
