Essay question: Why should I drink here?
Theoretically an Irish pub, Lizzy’s has a fake fireplace, lots of low-slung tables and small couches, so it maybe kinda feels like a pub. But, truly, it’s the familial, pretension-free, drinks-first vibe that sets it apart. It’s a perfect happy hour spot (theirs runs until 8 p.m.), and a great escape if you’re an adult trapped downtown after 10 p.m.
