  1. A

    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.

    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.

    Dubliner

    Yes, it's the same dark-wood-paneled Irish pub you see everywhere (except Ireland), but this one is stuffed with ambitious interns blabbing about their bosses proclivities mere feet from the Capitol. Also, the pub grub is excellent.
