Friday night at River Arts District Brewing hits different when you can post up with a beer and catch a show without the downtown hustle. Good way to kick off the weekend somewhere a little more laid back. The wrap-around deck and beer garden handle groups way better than the typical cramped taproom setup, especially when Master BBQ is parked out front and the free Friday music is going. The spot sits right across from The Grey Eagle at the edge of the River Arts District, so the parking lot alone makes it easier than most brewery hangs in town.
