Oscura

Two Manatee High friends built the venue Bradenton didn't have: espresso and ricotta toast until mid-afternoon, then touring punk, indie and hardcore acts paired with regional openers under disco balls and tropical plants. It also pays real wages — $15-plus with healthcare and a 401(k) match, rare in bar work — and that care shows on both sides of the counter.

Weekend nights for live sets; weekday mornings if you're there for the coffee.

The flea markets — Friendly City, Groovehive, Bradenton Punk Rock — take over the room some weekends and are worth planning around.
