I really enjoy going to Midcity Cafe on Friday/Saturday evenings. There is always a large, and diverse crowd of people socializing. Even though I don't live in the nearby apartments the place still has a 'local bar' feel (a lot of the customers seem to know each other/staff) but I can go and still be anonymous enough to talk about whatever with my friends. A good mix. The techno music they've got going inside adds to the whole 'trendy' vibe. The drinks aren't the best. My friend said his rose was rather bland for the price. The coffee I have had there wasn't fantastic....other than that, it's nice and close to Tech Square (hooray for walking!) and is open late enough unlike a lot of cafe bars!
