John Doe Bar & Kitchen

Located on an unassuming Nomad street, this gastropub turns out riffs on classic pub fare and tempting signature cocktails. For an appetizer, why not order the oysters? They always sell for $1 each, though you have to order six or more. The flatbread topped with caramelized apples, goat cheese, mushrooms and arugula ($12) might tempt you, or perhaps you’ll go classic with potato skins stuffed with cheddar and bacon ($11). If you’re here for dinner, try the John Doe burger with pickled red onion and garlic aioli on a pretzel bun ($13). Satisfy your dessert craving with a sweet cocktail, like the Nutty Irishman, a combination of coffee, Bailey’s, frangelico and lots of whipped cream ($12). John Doe offers different specials each day of the week and a lengthy happy hour from 11am–8pm every weekday, so you have no excuse not to sample the entire menu.
