Friday early show at River Arts District Brewing, starts at 6 so you could catch this and still have a whole night ahead of you. The brewery's got that chill post-work vibe going, good spot to ease into the weekend. The wrap-around deck and beer garden handle bigger crews without feeling cramped, especially when Master BBQ is parked out front and you can grab a table with your dog. It's right across from The Grey Eagle at the edge of the River Arts District, so the parking lot actually exists and the whole setup works whether you're posted up for an hour or an entire Friday night with the free live music.
