I really like Julie's Cuban. I just wish the food was as good as the atmosphere and drinks. Looking just like an old Snack bar from the 50's Julie's is hipster-ville personified, but that fiery latin soul gives it credibility over other haunts where horn rimmed glasses wearing chicks chat with beard stroking indie rock poseurs looking to be "scene".
The patio is tight but quaint and makes it ideal for people watching. Tuck in on a warm sumer night, order a mojito, some tapas and fire up some good conversation. The mains are negligible and lack flavour, but the corn fritters are out of this world! Guacamole is decent, but disappointingly served with store bought tortilla chips.
Value here is not the best and the food won't wow you. However, Julie's remains a remarkable little spot for cocktails, patio fun and kitchy Cuban knick knacks.
