Frank's Beer Shop

Description: A tiny neighborhood beer bar, bottle shop, and coffee shop with a cozy living-room feel, vintage seating, an L-shaped bar, a patio, and additional indoor space next door. Beer and wine anchor the beverage selection, while morning coffee service adds espresso drinks, chai, bagels, baked-goods pop-ups, and other rotating food offerings. Free Wi-Fi makes the space suitable for laptop work during quieter daytime hours, while evenings lean more social with live music, sports, neighborhood events, families, and plenty of dogs. The welcoming, dog-centered atmosphere reflects owner Joe Smaldone’s original vision for a casual gathering place where Commonwealth Park neighbors can meet and spend time together.

Comments: They list parking details on their website so you don't end up in the wrong place and get towed, greatly appreciated! Bring your dog, they want you to, they are explicitly dog friendly. They sometimes have cinnamon rolls from a pop up of local favorite Fralinger's Baking Company, which I would highly snagging if you see them!
