A four block walk from Pontiac Place (10 min walk), fantastic selection of excellent beers! And if you become a Beer Ambassador member (good for one year) then every time you order a regular pint, they give you a giant 22oz mug of beer instead! Wednesday is Ambassador Appreciation night, where mugs are almost half off!
Order pizza from Pizzeria Don Luca, and they'll deliver it to you at Ed Teach!

Opera Room
119 Grace StreetThis is our favorite dive bar in town. Cheap drinks with an 80's skater punk vibe.
Man, this place is a scene! And the party never stops! Even in the middle of a hurricane, Slainte never shuts down. Stagers hang out on the front benches to watch the nightly downtown parade. Good chance you'll see Pontiac neighbors there! If they're drinking shots of Jameson picklebacks, do not try to keep up!!!

I grew up in San Francisco, with access to lots of excellent sushi. Genki is the only sushi in town I will eat, and it is excellent! A 10min drive from Pontiac, but worth it.
