Food Scene

Great local spot close to the house. It's a local grill with a lot of TV's to watch sports. Great place to see all the Southsiders.

Drinks & Nightlife

You just need to go there. If you like craft beer El Bait Shop is right next door. They share a kitchen, so the menu is pretty extensive.
