Beermiscuous

A self-described craft-beer café, this Lakeview spot is popular for all sorts of beer-infused scenarios: locals shop for carry-outs (the cooler’s stocked with more than 350 at a time), diners take advantage of the “BYOFood” policy (delivery orders are welcome), work-from-homers bring their laptops for buzzed surfing and, in a nod toward European tradition, parents bring their kids. There are craft-beer networking events; there are knitting clubs. The only thing Beermiscuous doesn’t seem to cater to is pretense.
