Dan Electro’s Guitar Bar

Dan Electro’s Guitar Bar has a fun, funky atmosphere with regularly played live music. This intimate setting feels like a private concert with the arrangement of tables close to the stage. The decor is ’70s-inspired, with music spanning across several decades, such as old-school blues, punk rock, and all different types of upcoming bands. There is also a back patio for people to enjoy in the evenings. Dan Electro’s doesn’t serve liquor, but it allows customers to bring their own and will provide the rest of the set-up. It does, however, offer local beer and wine. The charm of this bar is that it is in a more secluded area of the Heights.

Cedar Creek

Smokey Pig BBQ

Cedar Creek is a coffee house, bar, and lounge in the Heights area. This bar has a casual atmosphere with a cozy log cabin interior. This is really a great place to relax and hangout on a Friday or Saturday evening after a long day’s work. There is a big wood fireplace inside and an outdoor patio area with big picnic tables.

Friends tossing with wine

At Sonoma Retail Wine Bar & Restaurant there is a vast selection of wines from around the world. The bar arrived in the Heights back in 2012 and has quickly become a popular spot for locals. In 2013 it won the ‘Award of Excellence in Food and Wine’ from Wine Spectator for five consecutive years (2009-2013). The interior is filled with warm earth tones in an intimate setting.
