2. Fat Cat
This place is sort of legendary, it’s a laid back atmosphere that manages to somehow successfully combine the feel of a college dorm and a chill jazz lounge. It’s got character and not an ounce of pretension, along with games. There may be nicer places to hang out and there’s no food, but it’s definitely worth your time for a visit, especially if you just want to hang and laugh with some pals.
