The Fainting Goat
This bar is named for the myotonic goats whose muscles stiffen when they’re surprised, causing the animals to occasionally fall over. But don’t expect goat-inspired decor: This is a low-key neighborhood spot through and through, and it delivers stiff drinks in an old building that's held great casual hangouts for decades. A comfortable joint where you can grab a beer and a quick snack or watch a game solo or with a dozen of your new best friends, it also boasts a secluded rooftop patio with a lovely view of the mountains.
