The Goodyear Bar

Description: A neighborhood coffee and cocktail bar in NoDa serving Night Swim Coffee throughout the day alongside approachable cocktails, beer, wine, and food from neighboring The Goodyear House. The intimate space occupies a restored historic mill home with cozy furnishings, soft lighting, bar and counter-height seating, and access to a shared outdoor area. The menu spans espresso and coffee drinks to burgers, fries, shareable snacks, soft serve, and late-night bites, giving the space a casual all-day café-to-bar feel.

Comments: This used to be Chief’s Modern Cocktail Parlor before being bought by The Goodyear House, the nearby restaurant, that re-branded it as The Goodyear Bar. But Chief's Modern Cocktail Parlor was already owned by the same hospitality group as The Goodyear House, so its like, ultimately this spot still rolls up to the same company.

Anyways, this spot has a coffee shop by day, bar by night vibe, and a generally cozy decor to it. It's in a renovated old house. There are a lot of other businesses in this area so parking can be tough. It's technically free street parking but limited spaces. If you can't find a free spot, there's a paid lot nearby.

Great outdoor patio with fences on some of the sides, good amount of seating there. Inside it’s compact but seating in every corner of the place. Maybe not the best for a super private conversation but certainly a solid spot to hangout. During the day it doesn’t get that bust so it’s a great remote work spot. Has a jazzy sort of lounge aesthetic to the whole place.
