Long gone are the days when Plaza Midwood was just a neighborhood with curious thrift shops, tattoo parlors, and dive bars. Those elements are still there (see the Thirsty Beaver for your dive fix), but so are several of the city’s most popular bars—including Soul Gastrolounge, Whiskey Warehouse, The Common Market, The Peculiar Rabbit, and Pint Central. Park the car and walk to any of them.
