Come for the main attraction -- hand-cut steaks and tender rib meat that falls off the bone -- and wash it down with something from the full-service bar. Among the offerings are five ice-cold beers on tap and margaritas. Munch on peanuts while you wait and toss the shells on the floor, but leave room for the meat as well as fresh-baked bread and made-from-scratch sides.

With eight flatscreen TVs and your favorite brew on tap, Spanky's is sports bar heaven. The neighborhood feel and friendly staff will make you feel comfortable, while the full-service bar and generous food menu offer a multitude of options. Look for a non-smoking section and new paint soon!

A national chain with some down-home cowboy passion. Breathe in the aroma of St. Louis and baby-back ribs or check out the cowboy art and antler chandelier while you wait with your drink. Have the bartender mix something from the drink menu or choose one of six beers on tap, including domestics and microbrews.

Hooters' decor is rustic beach scene, delightfully tacky yet unrefined, with Christmas lights up year round and pictures of different celebrities. This is a place to get beer and chicken and look at hot girls. Children are welcome. There are kids menus.

Marriage didn't work out for Sue and Willie Artzer, but the private club the ex's opened in 1984 has lasted. Willie died in 1999, and Sue now runs The Den -- a place she calls "down-home country, probably one of the last honky-tonks." Look for live, local country bands on Fridays and Saturdays. Locals fill the place the rest of the week.

Sip a beer and sign up for one of Terry's many pool leagues and tournaments, which draw a wide cross section of men and women ranging in age from 21 to 85. Leagues play most days of the week. Drop by during regular business hours to check out the options and sign up.

One of the cleanest bars in town, hard wood walls, flags over windows, neon lights, darkened ambience, and lots of interesting characters of all walks of life, including cowboys, attorneys, blue collar workers, lots of working men. Bartender Jennifer Falley has 13 years of experience and knows how to take care of customers.

Sidelines is more than your typical bar and grill with a wait staff that goes above and beyond the effort you'd expect. Enjoy fantastic drink specials most nights served by a friendly staff and mixed by a talented bartender. Dave Kruger bought the bar in July 2008. It was formerly called MacDaddy's Sports Pub & Grub.

Nothing takes the edge off the burn of a hot wing like a nice cold beer, and Buffalo Wild Wings offers both the burn and cool remedy. With a bar and a dining room, feel free to bring friends to watch sports on the many screens throughout the restaurant or drag along the family for a fun dining experience.

Opened in 2008, Victoria's is still building a reputation on the bar scene. It has lots of neon beer signs and plenty of mirrors (great for touching up lipstick). The full-service bar is run by a friendly staff willing to mix just about anything for you, and they keep the place clean.
