One of the first bars to open in the Atlas District, the Argonaut is a playful, low-key tavern suitable for both after-work drinks or a sit-down meal with solid bar food. With bright green walls and a spacious patio outdoors and a dark, cozy nautical-themed interior, the bar may not be the swankiest spot in town, but it’s one of the most comfortable.

Try the $3 happy-hour Dos Equis on any weekday or sample the sweet-potato fries with one of the many sandwiches the bar offers—from a no-frills burger to a tasty fontina-and-Fuji-apple concoction to a catfish po’ boy. If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, sample the bar’s top-notch rum selection.

On weekends, head to the pub to listen to a DJ, play foosball, or tackle the pool table. Chat up the friendly bartenders or watch the world from the patio at the intersection of Florida and Maryland avenues.
