Salt Bar


Laid-back, ultra-trendy bar and occasional club occupies a hived-out former industrial building, given a makeover of hardwood floors and exposed beam ceilings. Excellent beers on tap and a modest food menu of salads and burgers. Check the website for live events featuring popular DJs. Plan to come early, since these events tend to pack the house.
