Nightlife
It's a really unique house and a great place to grab a drink. Sometimes they have live music in the living room. About the bar, from their website: “Funky, Extraordinary, Eclectic, Soulful, Artsy, Avant-garde atmosphere; like your crazy aunts place, with a fondness for Alice-in Wonderland incongruities.”

Daylife
Airbnb describes this place as a restaurant, and although they do have food, that is definitely not the most accurate label. It’s like a big playground for adults, but there is also a cordoned off area for children. It has volleyball, cornhole, ping pong, food, beer, and often live music.

Perfect for sunset. Have a drink and a bite to eat while you take in the view of the river and the bridge. You’ll have to go through Paulette’s to get to the elevator. Worth it!
