Love this spot! Set back on Lower State, its a local's gathering place. The coffee's great, I love the veggie sandwiches and its next to Backyard Bowls and a chocolate shop. What could be better?!

Drinks & Nightlife
Lookin for the off-the-beaten-path, cool local's bar? This is your best choice downtown. Be careful, you'll miss it though..... Elsie's isn't well marked! Beer and wine only. Pool table and courtyard.

Near our house, this is your best choice for a fun, casual, low-lit bar. And they have the best beer collection in town, not to mention free pool and popcorn.
