paramour coffee barOne of our favorite new coffee bars takes us to new heights – literally. Paramour Bar, located in the Phipps building at 102 9th St., starts off as a high-class coffee shop before the bar hours hit at 4 p.m. When you arrive at Paramour, get ready to climb up a few flights of stairs to get to the top. Do it – it’s totally worth it!

This exists? Seriously? Paramour’s large floor space makes sense because it is bar that’s usually jam-packed and booming with music, but when the sun is out and the music is taken down a notch, it’s the chillest place in the city.
