    Feel free to re-arrange the furniture, get comfortable, and bring in some food from Sigmund's, Sunny and Annie's or Snack Dragon.

    The kind of place where someone can get a PBR but the bartender will say "Is that a beer?" when a patron asks about a "Tecate".

    No food, but they'll allow you to bring it in. Great pre/post brunch. Music and bumping!

    Decent place to have a drink with friends. A few sofas here and there to lounge around on. DO NOT waste your money on Big Buck Hunter. It often randomly restarts mid game and bartenders don't refund $

    It’s fine I guess. $4 tecate and rolling rock cans with a few TVs (pretty small place)

    Go to Mama's for Brooklyns -- a good local standard, not trendy in the slightest. Then replace your late-night pizza habit with tacos at Snack Dragon around the corner on 3rd.
