The Matador

Matador is the best of both worlds: It’s a dark dive with plenty of seating, where you can get an adventurous craft cocktail or just order up your usual drink. The patio is typically jumping after hours, but happy hour is normally chill. It’s almost too easy to order round after round in this well-rounded Ivanhoe watering hole.
Located off Pine Street, near Magnolia
Parking: Garages nearby

Teaser: Somewhere in the haze of upscale and hipster is the Matador, a full-liquor bar offering comfy couches and a semiprivate upstairs area. Drinks are strong and reasonably priced. It's an excellent choice for relaxing and talking.
