"The Lil Woody, Pig & Fig, onion rings."

"That rarest of creatures: a legit, reasonably priced burger joint that doesn't use factory-farmed meat. No half-pounders or $35 burgers here. Think upgraded/updated Dicks. Manny's and Lucille, too."

"Great brewery, damn fine wood-fired pizza. Upstairs offers floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river."

"Walking distance from the Davenport hotel, a good local alternative to Starbuck's and the like."

"Decent list with nano-breweries like Stoup and Reuben's starting to make the occasional appearance. Food a little pricey for what it is, but the Reuben is excellent and the tuna melt quite good. 21+"

"Charming. A favorite little hole in the wall. Tiny, thoughtfully designed space. Smart beer selections, good espresso, soccer on the telly. Limited but quality menu. No hard booze."
