Cycling through the Alps. It's a terrible idea that took off like a frog in a sock, but regardless of whether you're a fanatical spandex warrior or you follow the Tour de France because you dig a little athletic sadism, you'll probably agree that it's better to do so beer in hand, and comrades in arms.
Domestique is your answer. It's a pop-up bar brought to you by the Shadow Electric gang, running Thursday through Sunday from July 5th through to the bitter end on the 22nd. Nest Coworking creative space is the HQ and they've got everything you need to make watching dudes in lycra work up a lather seem legit. Namely: beer and wine, cheese and dips, heaters and big screens. The former will keep you hydrated, the latter will screen warm-up films and music to keep you entertained.
And just in case your enthusiasm for cycling is legitimate, they've provided 24 parking bays for bikes. Faking it but think it sounds fun? See above re: the bar. After all, this is "a sports bar for people who like bars more than sports."
