Bar
Friday night Fish Tacos January February March are the bomb. Live music Thursday-Saturday. The Big Bird is the best Fried Chicken sandwich anywhere, and the jalapeño Poppers are A MUST (can order individuals to sample).

Live music Thursday and Saturday, great line up of locally crafted beers. The Porter is my favorite, but if you like stout, try the Contradiction... looks like a Pilsner, smells like a Coffee, tastes like a Stout.
