Drinks & Nightlife
This is by far my favorite hangout spot! Fun, local tavern just a few short blocks away with billiards, TV’s and outdoor patio. Everything I’ve eaten here is amazing. They have a great Happy Hour and I believe on Sunday’s it’s Happy Hour all day along with free pool (don’t quote me on that though). They also have an awesome open mic night on Monday’s starting at 9pm.
