Duke's Cardiff Office, or The Office, is a North County essential with mass dive bar cred. Through the front entrance, friendly locals serve up extra-stiff drinks for cheap. On busy nights, the main bar area packs in tight, but the adjacent ' play room' is a more spacious setting. With drinks in hand, laid back patrons play pool and foosball and sing a long to alternative tunes. The Office is no bar for heels or popped collars; beach attire with an indie edge sets the tone.
And now for the finale: 'get glazed' at VG's Donuts (located next door) to ease your morning-after blues.
