Artichoke
Artichoke: it’s a cafe, it’s a bar, it’s a bistro. This tagline, while seemingly broad in scope, actually describes Artichoke quite well.

They also offer many local ales, lagers, beers, wines, and an assortment of cocktails. Artichoke makes a point of supporting local suppliers, breweries, and businesses, and for that reason alone a quick stop (or perhaps a delayed stay?) is definitely worth your time.
