Plenty of flat-screen televisions, cold beer and great food are part of the reason people love Firestone Public House. There are over 60 beers on tap, and patrons report competent, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. Parking is on the street, although there is a parking garage nearby. Menu items are on the pricier side, but come highly recommended. All in all, a great place to watch the game or big fight.

Flame Club is a solid dive bar that serves good, stiff drinks at a cheap price. What makes it a dive bar? It's not fancy, it's dim, slightly run down, comfortable with a friendly clientele and bartenders you can chat with while you enjoy your beverage. This is not a place to come if you are looking for an airy, modern atmosphere or umbrella drinks. It's not a club but there is a jukebox that plays a variety of tunes.

People love The Depot because they have strong drinks, a relaxed vibe, fun events and it's a good place to go when some of the nearby clubs are a bit too rowdy. The Depot is somewhat of a dive bar, and offers pool, 90's music and a friendly atmosphere.
