Quarry House Tavern
This bar has been a neighborhood staple for over 70 years. At first glance it's just a friendly looking dive bar, but upon further inspection it reveals itself as something of a gastropubâthe food is heads and shoulders above usual bar fare fried pickles are a must, and they have a great, long list of Belgian beers! Live bands on weekends and a weekly Rockabilly night Sa.
Piratz Tavern
This place is a strange gem. The staff actually do appear to be piratesâone actually lost an eye in a sword fightâand the eccentric atmosphere seems to bring out the patrons' inner pirates as well. The Pirate cuisine on offer is surprisingly excellent, a mix of Caribbean, Portuguese, and Brazilian, and attracts families and couples in addition to the bar's younger clientèle. If you like a drink, don't pass up the extremely stiff rum-based grog, which is quite tasty and very reasonably priced. Unlike most area bars, you will never have to lose your voice shouting above loud music. Ask for a seat outside in the back.
