Best Hidden Watering Hole

Barrio Brewing Co.

Tucked in the Warehouse District near the building formerly known as 17th Street Market is perhaps the cleanest, coolest eating and drinking joint where no one would ever expect to find a bar, let alone a full-service restaurant. Situated right on the tracks at 16th Street and Toole Avenue, happy hour in this funky modern-industrial spot happens whenever the railroad guards come down. Train got you stuck? Enjoy one of the roughly dozen beers on tap and get down on a burger or fish tacos with habañero cream sauce during your timeout. You may never want to leave. The Barrio could also be a front runner for "Best Place to Watch a UA Sporting Event Without Buying a Ticket."
