Zeitgeist is a bar that's popular with bikers, cyclists, drinkers, smokers and stoners. Customers can enjoy local beers and mixed drinks in Zeitgeist's fabulous backyard, which is often crowded during the warmer months. It's huge and filled with rows and rows and rows of picnic tables! Zeitgeist is worth checking out during the daytime. It's an especially fun place to bring a group of friends and you're all likely to find a spot to sit and — get this — hear each other talk. Tamale Lady comes by often to sell her wares, and they have a big Tamale Lady sign inside the bar.
The kitchen is rumored to have kick-ass hamburgers, and also Gardenburgers during the daytime. The dinner menu includes only grilled cheese sandwiches, home fries and corn dogs. You can't order home fries separately.
Every summer, Zeitgeist hosts the Overcooked Cinema film festival, which airs short films that are free to view (and to submit!). More information can be found
here.
The Zeitgeist staff are photo fascists and will pull your camera out of your hands and throw you out if they see you taking pictures of the bar — though photographing your friends is OK, says one employee.

They will harass you if they see you photographing anything other than a group of friends. I guess only tight shots of people's faces are ok. —ArlenAbraham
