You can grab $15 buckets of Bud Light , plus the game's always on. Careful on Saturdays during college football season, though. The games attract a huge crowd.

Disregard if you just go on Tuesday's, but this place is also great on "off days" I went here and had great food, service, and drinks. Lance is the man.

Show up Sunday morning to watch NFL action. Super chill and lots of TVs with all the games on. Tip: Ask them to put on whatever game you want and if it is not crowded , they'll happily oblige.
