Entertainment
In a city with a heavily populated food and beverage scene it’s hard to narrow down where to go. Here are some of my favorite places:
A locally owned Irish Pub with live entertainment 7 days a week. Fresh local seafood, moose and beer. Fast and friendly service with a great atmosphere
