What is Improper City?
“Choose your own adventure”
We are a spacious, large-scale taproom and coffee bar. Improper City features 36 taps, a full bar selection, specialty cocktails, and a seasonal menu. We are a place that wants you to come as you are and choose your own adventure. We welcome all people.
Our graffiti-adjacent patio is dog-friendly, has a seasonal bar space, great Wi-Fi, community games, and hosts several food trucks. Grab a boardgame off the shelf or cozy up outside by the firepits and make yourself at home.
Established 2018.
