Uber trendy and dominated by a college crowd. This recent downtown addition is very cool in the design of the space and draws a pretty big crowd. Another cool factor is that there are different food trucks featured each day that are parked out front if your hungry...you can also BYOF (Bring your own food) from elsewhere while you visit here.

Parks & Nature
Amazing Human and doggy Park! There are two fenced-in dog parks (one for larger dogs and another for smaller pups) and an equally amazing Dog "beach" where there is a washing station for your pup. Just bring shampoo for him or her to shower after they frolick in the "beach". About 4 miles away from the Bungalow. UPDATE: There have been recent reports that on the "dog beach" side of the park serious flea infestations to dogs and the water is not safe. Best stick to the regular dog parks in the park's facility.
