With age, I've come to realize that the third place that work for me are actually two places. One would be the café, and the other the bar. Since I find that coffee and beer have become my go-to beverages when I want to relax. meet friends, do some writing, or just take my mind off whatever is bringing me down at the moment.
That is why I tend to prefer small-to-medium places, that play music that blends with the background when I'm there with friends, or just want to put on my headphones to listen to some of my favorite music. That it has WiFi is a big bonus, specially since I like to blog, stream music at times, or just watch some YouTube. Yet, consideres a bit of an option since I can use my smartphone as a hotspot, or I don't need it when I'm with friends or with coworkers.
My favorite cafés, and bars, tend to lend themselves to be places I can socialize or work in a more relaxed manner. Cozy in a way that helps to relaxed, and create a more friendly atmosphere depending on the situation.
The choice of going to a café, or a bar, is more dependent on if I'm going alone or with a friends, the time of the day, and my mood at the moment. As I said, coffee and beer are both my favorite drinks for some time off, do some work, and everything in-between. The weather may come into play, but more so when is hot. When is raining or a bit cold, either drink does a great job hitting the right spot when I need them to.
For now I can recommend Tierra Café, Magma Café, and La Flor de Cordoba. The first two are small cafés with a single location, while La Flor de Cordoba is more a mall chain that has managed to makes its locations feel friendly and cozy.
On the bar side of things, the one I can recommend and go regularly is Santas Alitas. They follow the franchise model, but they do well in making each location fit its surroundings. While all the locations feel cozy and relaxed, the main difference you find in each one it the music they play, and how the waiters serve. All are quite friendly, there are some minor difference depending on the main clientèle they serve at each location.
Other bars I also like, but stop going on regular basis because of the distance and opening hours is Over Wings and Games Bar, but are bars that I'd happily return if I have the chance. The same goes for DrünkenTap de Paseos del Sol, which is more of a craft beer spot, for those who like that type of beer.
At the end of the day, each will choose the third place that better suits their personal preferences.
