Footsie's Bar

This neighborhood dive slings fairly cheap drinks all week long to the local Cypress Park crowd. The dimly lit interior gets a spot of sparkle from a disco ball while the risqué art and leather booths give the place a sultry vibe. Weeknights will likely be met with jukebox fare or the occasional vinyl, but the weekends are ripe for DJs spinning anything from italo disco to punk music. Wells, shots, and beers are your best bet for affordability, but you can likely get a dive version of any classic cocktail for much less than at a trendier spot. The back patio has its own buzzy energy, often primed for friendly interactions—with or without a cigarette.
