Coffee by day, country-and-blues bar by night on South Slope

South Slope is wall-to-wall taprooms, so a coffee shop that turns into a cocktail bar stands out fast. Wheelhouse pours coffee and pastries all morning, then swaps the soundtrack to country and blues as the cocktails come out.

Free parking out front is rare enough around here to be a reason on its own. It's already a regular stop for the one crowd in South Slope not drinking craft beer.

A fun, Western themed coffee shop with great coffee choices, pastries, breakfast tacos, and a bar for the evening.

Best new spot for every phase of thirst - morning, day & night. Add in their live music and amazing staff, and it’s your new go-to can’t-miss watering hole. Nelson approved!! 5 Paws.
