Bourgeois Pig
You may question whether your coffee contained a narcotic after exploring this famed Franklin Avenue mainstay (totally kidding)! It's like Snow White's dwarves stepped into a disco with tree stumps as tables, fairy lights, and billiards in the back. But, despite the dimly lit vibe, we've been crazy productive any time we've gone to the Pig to bang out work.
Bourgeois Pig, 5931 Franklin Avenue (at Tamarind Avenue); 323-464-6008.
