Again, it almost seemed hard to picture. The Flats now is a waterfront nightlife district, slightly reminiscent of the area in Brooklyn near the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. Narrow streets flanked by old brick factories wind next to the river, with waterfront patios showcasing DJs and craft beers.

The Punch Bowl Social serves drinks in, as the name implies, punch bowls, which can be enjoyed while playing pool, pingpong, or Pac-Man. And the FWD Day and Nightclub is a posh-feeling place to sip rosé on a sunny Sunday.
