Favorite local watering hole. Many nights there is a live band. Unique and good food, great drinks.
Keep in mind there are no reservations and there is usually a long wait. If you’re willing to go grab a drink at the bar while you wait for a table, it’s a fun spot.

5-10 min drive from our house, with a big parking lot. This is the cheapest grocery store around, employee owned. Can get very crowded during weekends and evenings, would recommend just grabbing a basket rather than a cart and use the express check out lanes.
