  1. A

    Sink

    Waiters bob and weave under the low-slung, graffiti scrawled ceiling of the Sink, a Hill classic that's been around since 1923. Colorful characters cover the dimly lit, cavernous space – a scene almost worth a visit itself. Almost. Once you've washed back the legendary Sink burger with a slug of a local microbrew, you'll be glad you stuck around.

    Winking Lizard Tavern

    This hugely popular pub-grub outlet, named for its caged iguana, is a logical downtown stop before or after a sporting event (Cleveland is a serious jock town with three modern downtown sports venues).

    Chuck's Waterfront Grill & Endless Summer Bar Café

    For someplace dressier than Brophy Brothers, reserve a table in the nautical-theme dining room or outside overlooking the sailboats. Come between 17:00 and 18:30 for around US$15 to around US$17 sunset dinner specials, such as an 8oz steak or grilled salmon. Upstairs at the publike Endless Summer, the scene is Jack Johnson-casual (and cheaper), with fish-and-chips, burgers, billiards and beer.

    Union Street Public House

    Gas lamps out front welcome tourists and locals into this spacious taproom for frosty brews, raw-bar delights and nightly dinner specials. Inside, the atmosphere is equally inviting: a wide bar, heavy wooden furniture and exposed brick provide equal parts retro-and-warm atmosphere.

  5. Chair 5 Restaurant

    The kind of bar and restaurant skiers love after a long day on the slopes. It features more than 60 beers, including a dozen on tap, gourmet pizzas, big burgers and a lot of blackened dishes like blackened halibut tacos.

    Gage

    It’s clear from the formidable Scotch egg – a sausage-encased, deep-fried, hard-boiled beast with the girth of a softball – that this elegant, Irish-tinged gastro pub is serious about its menu. Standards include the Camembert-topped Gage burger ($16, but worth it) and Guinness-battered fish and chips, while more exotic options include roast saddle of elk and barbecue lamb shanks. Ask the knowledgeable servers which beers from the well-curated list best accompany your food. Note the bar stays open later, usually until 2am.

  7. Norfolk Pub & Restaurant

    Norfolk Pub & Restaurant claims the ‘widest selection of the finest beers in the world, ’ which we can’t confirm, but they do indeed serve excellent suds, especially those hailing from Belgium and England. Happily, their solids stand up to their liquids – smart pub grub with some twists. Try the spicy crab cakes with Thai chili sauce ($15.50). Take note of the chair made of antlers in the corner.

    Phantom Canyon Brewing Co

    In an old exposed warehouse building saved from the wrecking ball in 1993, this local brewery serves a variety of pints and American cuisine in a casual atmosphere with wood floors and furnishings, and an antique bar.

    The appetizers can be large enough for a meal, happy-hour pints of house-made blondes, IPAs and stouts are just $2.50 and the downstairs dining room is family-friendly. Locals flock to the upstairs billiards room at night.

    Del Charro Saloon

    Attached to Inn of the Governors, this popular pub is an atmospheric place with copper-topped tables, lots of vegetation and a blazing fire in the winter. In summer the patio opens up and tables spill onto the sidewalk. It serves giant, inexpensive margaritas and delicious pub grub well into the night.

    Colonel Brooks' Tavern & Island Jim's Crab Shack

    This friendly bar fills with regulars at lunchtime and happy hour. In the wood-paneled dining room, it serves pub grub and Southern fare. Live jazz bands play in the evenings. If you are feeling tropical, head to the tiki bar next door. Romp in a palm tree-shaded sandpit or sip umbrella drinks on the outdoor deck. Try the 'Kick Ass Margarita - hot and spicy, cold and icy.' Boogie down to live music on Wednesday evenings. Life is good, mon.

  12. Maui Brewing Company

    This microbrewery sports a classy pub atmosphere with a glass wall overlooking the brewing operation. The food goes way beyond the usual pub menu, with oysters on the half shell, Cajun crab cakes and raspberry-glazed duck. Beers range from the light, crisp Honolua lager to Wild Hog, a robust, full-bodied black stout with a creamy finish - sample them all with six 3oz glasses ($6). Live music nightly.

    Waimea Brewing Company

    It resembles a suburban mall joint but the open-air plantation building and swaying coconut trees are pleasant and the island-inspired pub food is tasty. Two creative uses of 'ahi poke: a seared poke wrap and a sushi roll filled with poke and flash-fried. As for the US's westernmost microbrewery's beers, aficionados find them only passable.

    Spotted Pig

    This Michelin-starred gastro-pub is a favorite of Villagers, serving a hearty, upscale blend of mains from Italy and the UK. Two floors are bedecked in old-timey souvenirs that serve to make the experience both casual and refined. It doesn't take reservations, so there is often a wait for a table. Brunch and lunch are less packed, so you can usually get a seat straight away.

    Red Onion

    Open since 1892, this saloon has been recently renovated with a certain mountain bistro flair. The fusion menu has a brainy side, starring mango and brie quesadillas, and grilled lamb chops in a habanero preserve, plus you've gotta love a joint that serves chicken and waffles for (late) breakfast. The kitchen stays open well into the night.

    Ford's Filling Station

    The 'Ford' in question is Ben Ford (yup, son of Harrison) and he'll fill you up in his lively gastropub favored by a chatty, boozy crowd. Flatbreads are toasted to perfection, the fish and chips have the lightness of tempura and the vegetarian polenta cake is a symphony of textures and flavors. Only the noise level needs some fine-tuning.

    Nelson Blue

    Good for a drink as well as a lamb curry pie, Nelson Blue is the only Kiwi pub in town. The wine list is heavy on New Zealand drops, a perfect match for standouts like zucchini and corn fritters, and green-lipped mussels in a curry and coconut broth. In true antipodean style, the vibe is friendly, laid-back and attitude-free.

    Fiasco's Dinner Show

    Fiasco's Dinner Show has so much going on at once, it's hard to concentrate on where the next surprise is coming from. Sets fall apart, actors throw tantrums and then the show goes downhill from there - all in good fun, of course, or at least we think so. Great curry and traditional pub grub selection. Kids are free on Thursdays.

    Doc Water's Pub

    If the Hangar doesn't put you close enough to the water head next door where you can grab an outside table complete with seagulls. Dinner is served until 01:00, but this is a better place to linger in the late afternoon sun drinking beer and devouring the pub's Big Island burger (teriyaki sauce, pineapple salsa and Swiss cheese).

    Silver Peak Restaurant & Brewery

    Casual and pretense-free, this place hums with the chatter of happy locals settling in for a night of microbrews and great eats, from pizza with roasted chicken to shrimp pasta and filet mignon.

    reviewed

  21. Family Wash

    This East Nashville neighborhood gastropub is the kind of place where you can eat a sublime roast garlic shepherd's pie and nurse a microbrew while watching the bartender shoot the breeze with the regulars and kids play with toy cars on the floor. Live music gets rolling on the small stage around 9pm most nights.

    Jonesy's EatBar

    This is a great place for a simple pub-style meal and a beer. This former high-end restaurant has been reborn as a gastropub with an excellent select wine list. There's live music several nights a week, a pool table and a lovely outdoors seating area. The crowd is eclectic and the wait staff are friendly.

    Market Street Public House

    This dark wood-paneled pub is a friendly refuge from the noise and lights of the District. There's a great selection of homemade microbrews and regulars' beer steins hang on the wall. The menu has salads, burgers and sandwiches as well as heartier 'pub fayre' like shepherd's pie and fish 'n' chips.

  25. Old Naples Pub

    Near 3rd St S, typical Irish-style pub for above-average bar meals and friendly pints.

    Morino Grill

    This cafeteria-style establishment in a barnlike structure beside the visitor center is the only eatery within the park. It has burgers, paninis and small pizzas, as well as seafood chowder and reindeer stew. When we were there it was a madhouse, and staff were in a less-than-pleasant mood.

    Thunder and Buttons

    A divey bar and grill rich in atmosphere with old dark-wood furnishings, exposed brick walls and a local following, this is one of the coolest spots in Old Colorado City. The menu offers the usual pub grub, but their elk chili is an award-winning dish and worth dropping in for.
