The editorial take
Black Hart of runs a wide-ranging bar program built on drafts, bottles, cans, cocktails, and spirits. Customers praise the selection, with a soft-serve margarita at $8 and a cherry rhubarb cider standing out. The vibe reads dive-y but whimsical, with events like drag shows and bingo.

- Who will enjoy this place?

How it sits with the food
