A cozy Greenville Ave. hangout, Sundown at Granada is committed to keeping it fresh. Herb-filled planters and pots are scattered around the lower patio and rooftop deck. Behind the bar, a rainbow of fruits and vegetables float in lidded glass containers, infusing the spirits used for specialty cocktails. Whether food or drink, the Sundown menu offers plenty of farm-fresh, organic, GMO-free choices. Come and sip on one of the bar’s seasonal favorites before or after an evening of music at the neighboring Granada Theater.
