Fun bar vibe on the 3rd floor. Venture down the alley and around the back of the building to find the back entrance and just head up the stairs. They often have live music (heads-up: it's loud. You may be able to get into the back room where it's not quite so hard to have a conversation during a performance)

More of an upscale vibe here - great date night spot. Probably the best filet in town. Famous for their french onion soup. Great service. Great cocktails.

This is a fun local spot. They have some healthy side options and a great "nohito" if you want a drink without the booze. Great spot for families. I love their burger. Lots of pizza orders come out here too.

Best margaritas in town. If you want a boozy drink not on the menu, ask for the "James Joyce". Their queso is a must. The yuca fries are also really good. I often get the chaufa or one of the taco options. I usually like anything from here though.
