This neighborhood burger and beer bar comes from the former owners of Menagerie and Cooper's. Beer lovers will find their haven here, with more than 50-plus options on the menu. Brews also make their way into the food as well, from Belgian ale-spiked blue cheese sauce on a blackened burger to Two Brothers Ebel Weiss-marinated ham sandwiches. And in case you're wondering about the name (or the angry apple logo on the bar's signage), the Bad Apple is a nod to a figurine the owners have toted with them on vacation and taken photos with in various places, from bars to phone booths.
