NOVARE RES BIER CAFE

More than the beach, more than sundresses, more than riding 'round with your windows down, Novare Res symbolizes summer. Of course, this beer bar is open year-round, with knowledgeable waitstaff serving up selections from 25 rotating taps and 300+ bottled varieties (plus wine, mead, and spirits). But nothing's nicer than snagging a spot at one of the picnic tables on Novare's huge deck and enjoying the sun, all while sipping a seasonal brew (and maybe playing a round of cornhole). Bottoms up!
