Walking through the front door transports you to what feels like a turn of the century ship sunk beneath the ocean. There are free opera performances on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but not to worry, they are broken into short sets with plenty of time to buy beer and chat in between. You can bring your own food.

A fantastic Japanese pub with a great selection of sake, homespun cocktails and small, traditional dishes. Izakaya is extremely cozy and feels more like someone's living room than a bar. Sit in the front room or make your way through the hole in the wall and find a seat at one of the long, wooden tables.
