Prepare to spend an afternoon day drinking at Brady’s Coffee Bar as there’s a cafe and a cocktail bar on the same premises. 

On the first floor of the building, you’ll find a quaint cocktail bar. But if alcohol isn’t up your alley, head up to the second floor of the building, where you can get your caffeine fix.
