BEST NEIGHBORHOOD BAR

1st Place: The Joynt
2nd Place: Ray’s Place
3rd Place: The Mousetrap

If you’re in the mood for getting away and going to a place where everybody knows your name, apparently that means it’s time for The Joynt. Often these neighborhood taverns are put down as “townie” bars, but I can’t see anything wrong with the type of place that patrons send a wall full of postcards to … just to say they wish they were there! Taking a break from all your worries sure helps a lot, and a beef sandwich served on a napkin never hurts while you’re at Ray’s Place. True townie bars need a solid nickname for those “in the know” to quickly infer their destination, and I can’t think of anything better than “The Trap,” where you’re always glad you came. – Trevor Kupfer
