    Situated across from BrewDog and just a short walk from Land Grant, Rehab Tavern has that classic dive bar feel for the casual drinker. The cheap drinks, low light, and occasional live music provide a nice alternative to some of the more “polished” bars in the area.

    3. Cowork at Cova

    The Bottoms Up Coffee shop also features a co-working space known as Cova. Stop by to rent out a workspace or grab an iced coffee. Get some work done in this cozy corner of Franklinton, or fill up on homemade empanadas. Your choice.
