Baker
Baker is what South Broadway looked like before the rent caught on, and what Broadway still looks like if you squint past the new builds. Vintage racks, dive bars that never updated their jukeboxes, a live music room that books bands you have not heard of yet. Dates here trend cheap, loud, and slightly costumed; the neighborhood rewards anyone willing to commit to a look. The honest tradeoff is parking and the occasional sidewalk character, but you came for texture, not for valet. Order the well drink, lose the argument about the band, walk to the next bar.
