Lately I find myself having the same conversation. It goes something like, “I wish there was a cafe or coffee shop that stayed open late where I could work, or just hang out, chat, play games, do an occasional open mic, whatever.” Namely, a place to go at night that isn’t a bar. Usually the person I’m talking to will agree, and we’ll name drop a few places that have closed over the years. It’s not even about whether alcohol is sold or not; it’s more about vibes. I want couches, I want a quietish, mellow atmosphere, soft lighting, the option to use a laptop or read a book. I want that millennial dream of a cozy third place, which has essentially been killed by untenable rents.
