The only gastropub in the vicinity, Outpost offers “elevated” bar bites, paired with a tightly-curated and surprisingly offbeat wine selection with decent house wines. Try the quirky red Le Pigeoulet ($13/glass). Their happy hour promo (6-9pm daily) isn’t too shabby either, with six different beers at $5/half pint. Acoustic live music keeps the atmosphere relaxed and almost rustic.
