The Bastille

Downtown · After

The downtown bar I would want as my local: dark, neighborly, built around a pool table, and just elevated enough.

NOAH’S TAKE

The Bastille comes from the same team behind Queens Bar, which makes perfect sense. It feels like an elevated dive crossed with a college bar—the kind of dimly lit place where neighbors settle in, play pool, and end up staying longer than planned.

THE MOVE

Finish here after Book Tower or Capitol Park, grab a drink, and put your name on the pool table.

GO HERE WHEN

You want an easy late-night landing spot, a downtown neighborhood bar, or a casual game of pool.

MAYBE NOT WHEN

You want a pristine cocktail temple, a formal reservation, or a quiet early-evening room.
