You can't tell from the outside, but Budpest Blue is a cool little Ohio City hang, be it for happy hour, warming up for a show, or a quiet date night. Decked out in seven shades of blue — a friendly bar staff can list them all — the bar has a cool digital jukebox stocked with everything from Finger Eleven to R.E.M., which makes happy hours nice. But the best reasons to go — better than the music, better than the atmosphere, better than the prices — are some of the city's best chicken fingers and spinach dip (served separately, modern rock not included). It's easy to drive past, but just look for the blue lights.
