My favorite local dive bar. It has a large back patio space with great lighting. A great spot day or night, especially if the weather is nice. Cash only.

Korean BBQ restaurant. You can cook your own meat at the middle of the table or pick dishes that are cooked in the kitchen. This is an experience, for sure!
