Famously owned by the almost-famous band The Rogers Sisters, Daddy's has quickly become a neighborhood institution, thanks mostly to its market-cornering location, pointedly eclectic jukebox (Royal Trux, vintage country), and college-wallet-friendly prices. (Sorry, they don't accept Campus Cash.) It’s a great place for prospective market researchers to go on a trend-spotting safari—many experts believe that the vintage-boots-over-jeans thing was born here. With cozy booths and a wide, horseshoe-shaped bar, Daddy’s is nevertheless spacious enough to comfortably support rival cliques. The beer and the liquor selections are limited but for those who overindulge in hard drinking, Daddy's is kind enough to provide hot/tofu dogs to absorb any excess booze. — Emily Gould
