My friend, may I recommend Beerbusters?

A nerdy movie bar with select craft beers, weekly events, awesome regulars, and video games.

My go-to bar!

You could also try Mad Hatters, it's a kratom/cava bar but they also have boba teas and tons of regular tea. There are tons of board games there, and people go there to do DND campaigns and stuff like that. Pretty cool vibe!

kava bars. They tend to have a good crowd, kratom tea, plus coffee and snack. Also, a plus is many in IT tend to hang out at Driftwood, Lowtide, or Steep Station.

I was just at Driftwood in DTSP and that’s definitely the vibe. They do trivia and people are very friendly.
