Profile

The pint-sized Boxcar Lounge is almost always elbow-to-elbow, but makeshift banquettes, corner nooks, and stubby couches provide cozy respite on slower nights. An unprecedented happy hour and rocket-fueled sangria are major draws for the after-work crowd. Squeeze your way to the back and you can breathe (or smoke) again on the ivied patio. There, seats fill up with lightening speed, so think fast.

Extra

The Boxcar Lounge space was previously a candy store that had the distinction of being one of the neighborhood's favorite places to score cocaine.

Boxcar has become one of my favorite bars over the past couple of years. It's a great, laidback spot where my friends and I know we can always find a good crowd. Also highly recommend for parties and events, as we've had a few here.

Great, laidback spot!!

I've been going to Boxcar for a while and have to say it's my favorite spot to meet up with friends and have a few drinks. The happy hour is hard to beat and whether sitting in the garden or in the bar, its a great atmosphere. For those who are looking to avoid the crowds of "b&t" kids, this spot always has a good mix of people.
