Drinks & Nightlife

Good beer on tap. Technically a sports bar, but very low key and clean. They have trivia nights, and great barbeque, including vegan barbeque tofu. Right near the metro, so this is also a great place to meet up with people. Outdoor patio. Great service and friendly, knowledgable bartenders. Good beer on tap.

Amaaaaazing beer selection. Dozens of beers on tap at all times, and a huge bottle selection, too. Very helpful bartenders. Great place to hang out for hours with friends. Loungey area in the back. Not sketchy. Pages of whiskey as well, by the glass.

Sightseeing

National Monument. My favorite. Lots of granite. Fully ADA accessible. Beautiful waterfalls and granite. In the summer avoid the heat by going to see the monuments at night, when they are all lit up, and the sun has set. Always open. Always free.
