South

Serving beer, booze and nicely priced local snacks in the former Vin Rouge space, South is a cozy—if difficult to Google—bar with saloon-style booths, exposed brick walls and a couple of arcade games squeezed in for kicks. And although owners Paul and Dee Molinar describe it as primarily a beer- and bourbon-heavy spot, they've also given it some Texas love (she's a native) with Lone Star beer and Tito's vodka. Meanwhile, there's six brews on tap and 30 in bottles, with 30 more to come.

Also on the menu are "small little munchie-type things," per Paul, like Red Hook beef jerky, crinkle-cut chips with dip ($3) and a cayenne brownie ($5), made at the bakery next door. (A slightly expanded food menu—featuring locally made kielbasa and a meat and cheese plate, likely $8—is also in the works.) The house specialty, however, is a "dynamite" Bloody Mary, served in a pint glass and made with Absolut Peppar, fresh-squeezed lime and house-made everything. Or just go for their "$3 shots, always," which are $3, always.
