Part coffee shop , part cocktail bar , and part cafe bike shop , House of Machines does it all and does it well . Try the killer old fashioned or the best apple juice with bison grass vodka . Great coffee .

You can come here any time of the day for a coffee or beer . Friendly staff , they also make delicious cocktails . After 4 P.M. you can even get a currywurst from upstairs "The Sneaky Sausage ".

Good coffee ! Opens at 7am for the breakfast run, with a small selection of breakfast items on the menu. Live music most evenings. Check out the biker merchandise for sale at the back of the shop.

Equal parts men’s outfitter, motorcycle shop , café , and bar , House of Machines caters to various whims (and tastes). Try one of the small-batch bourbons , then shop for a pair of house-brand jeans .

The music is so good, this Georgia boy can forgive the Confederate flag in the corner. Also the House Lager is mighty fine.
