We can get great coffee in walking distance, grocery, drugstore, restaurants but no very local bar. Obviously don’t want to go in a car to drink and occasionally (today) it would just be so nice to have a local place. Not for, like, a night of partying and not for a fancy dinner. Just one or two drinks and walk home.
Do you have a local bar and do you ever go there?
If you are happy to walk it on foot, yes. I consider my work in easy walking distance at 2.5km, commuting by walk is reasonably pleasant unless it’s really hot or raining.
Personally my walking distance different in different directions though because to the north there is a street too big to cross comfortably at any time of day and to the south it gets a little rough at night but east and west I will go farther.
