Resident
If all bars could be more like Resident, the world would be a better place. That might be high praise for this Arts District bar, but it doesn’t take long to understand all the things this place gets right. For one, it’s almost entirely outdoors (there's an excellent live music/dance venue inside). Second, the outside bar exists in an Airstream and the cocktails and beer list are fantastic. Third and most importantly, you simply want to hang out here. The atmosphere is fun and laid back, and there are even water misters for all your day-drinking needs.
