Best Neighborhood Bar That's Never Too Crowded

The Aristocrat

Looking for a bar you can bring your mom to? A low-key first date hang? Cheap drinks without sacrificing ambience? A place you're probably not going to see anyone you know on the weekend? Rare is the bar that encompasses all of these moods and more, but the Aristocrat delivers. Off the beaten path in a huge lot on Burnet, with impeccable mood lighting, comfy booths, two usually accessible pool tables, ample outdoor seating, and a food truck parked outside, it's the perfect place for when you can't be bothered to choose. Devoid of all that makes lesser bars grating – pretension, crowds, no parking – the Aristocrat provides the ineffable vibe that one looks for, arguably, in every dive bar: coziness, fun, an escape. A neighborhood place where you can lose track of time.
