DRINKS

 

Cohesion Brewing Company is in the York Street Yards complex where the show is. Note that they are closed on Mondays. This taproom is “inspired by the beer production and service methods found in the Czech Republic,” which seems to be about extra foam. The events calendar on their website will show when food trucks will be there or if there is a trivia night.

Location: 3851 Steele St., Unit 1388 (onsite)


Go old school at Mr. A’s Restaurant & Lounge for a drink and maybe you’ll catch the DJ spinning some tunes. This bar hasn’t changed…ever? Mr. A’s is a classic dive bar. There is sometimes a $10 cover charge.

Location: 3200 E. 40th Ave. (1 minute away)
