Editorial Review for Race Street Cafe – by Mike Kennedy
In Short
Sit inside the low-key café and you'll feel like you've settled into a rustic bistro: heavy wood beams hold up the ceiling, a wood stove warms the room, and a gas street lamp throws dim light on exposed brick. Friendly bartenders anda broad selection of 12 beers on tap helps you wet your whistle, and the menu is simple but accomplished. The burgers are adequate so consider the hearty, tangy pulled pork barbecue sandwich.

Race St Cafe has definitely become a weekly hangout. Good selection of beer on tap and the service is the best (Vanessa! Franny!). The menu is limited, but always consistent and good. Definitely my local favorite.
Pros: great beer, phenomenal service

a nice combination of bar food and bistro-ish entrees. check out the blackboard dinner specials as well as amazing sweet/spicy chicken wings. a great selection of microbrews on tap, good inexpensive wines by the glass and a full bar. prices are moderate, $8-$18. the atmosphere is very relaxing....high ceilings, exposed brick and nice subdued lighting. service is friendly but non-obtrusive. attracts a varied mix of neighborhood locals as well as those who've discovered this little gem of a place.
Pros: food, bar selection, atmosphere
Cons: can get crazy at brunch on sunday
