The Rosebud on E. Pike is a somewhat trendy, artsy little place just off Broadway. Inside, think red, with small tables for two and large, comfortable couches perfect to collapse into with a group on a crowded night. Local art adorns the walls, adding local unity. The bartenders and staff are friendly and easygoing, good with a tab (who isn't) and ready with your next drink as soon as you want it on slower nights. During the week, the Rosebud is fairly empty inside and a good place to hangout without much stress or noise. The best feature of the Rosebud, however, is the back porch, which is filled up even on most weeknights. There are tables to sit at and stairs up to a back lawn terrace, where you can have your drink and gaze up at the stars...or the clouds, depending on your luck.
