Riverfront Day Drinking, Kept Classy
Nina (Be There team) shared this with you
Three miles of paved path along the water sets the pace before the glasses come out — Cafe D'Mongo's pours the first round in a room that still looks like 1955. Saturday's for kayaks and an Irish pub that knows how to do an afternoon right, and Sunday closes with a proper Lions watch party that doesn't feel like a frat house.
