There are a bunch of cool shops in that area. BushDocter (more than a dozen varieties of Ice-O-Later hash!), Barney's lounge, Free-I (Free-I also has GREAT hash!) Old Amsterdam, and the Greenhouse Namaste, are all within a 1/3 mile of Stix.
EDIT:
Also look for coffeeshop The Saint, for some excellent hash cappuccino!
