If you want good food and not drink any alcoholic beverage, that’s fine. Try the salmon (with pepper sauce) or their pasta dishes. The waiters are professional, that is- friendly without getting into your face. While the food is more than average, so is the wine. I think that their wines are much better than [...]

Music in this fun place varies- sometimes 80s, and sometimes 90s. They have strobe lights, dark lights, spotlights and whatnot. While the music is ok for me, this is not the kind of place I’ll be going to if I need to get into some serious conversation with a friend- the noise is really way [...]

The good: the menu is really long- Pronto has so many kinds of soups and salads that a newbie to the place might be overwhelmed. Dessert selection is just as big, then, the servers are actually sociable. The bad now: I don’t know if they just have a single cook or what, but the kitchen [...]

Here are the things to expect when you go to this place: first, if it’s a Monday, All You can Eat Fish Fry. For the weekend, they have the Build Your own Bloody Mary bar. For Tuesdays, bring the kids to the dining section and they “eat free” (I really don’t know if everything is [...]

***BAR IS CURRENTLY SHUT DOWN***
In the first floor, prepare your eardrums, particularly if you are not used to so much noise. They have a pool where you can imitate Efren Bata Reyes. Their most crowded bar is on the 2nd floor, and expect a band playing. There are so many people who love crowds, and [...]

What a weird name for a place, but far be it from me to criticize it. The weekday lunch special are quarter-pound burgers priced at less than $2.00. I once complained about something and to appease me, one of the managers presented me with a ten-dollar gift certificate. Cool. I wonder if some complain just [...]

If you want a Cajun ambience, you might try out Memphis Smoke. Food is ok, that is- edible, nothing truly special. They can do something about the ribs, they are quite on the hard side. Their brews are good enough for my taste, but a few brands are quite pricey. The live music is the [...]

The inside is quite dark, and they offer games including darts and pool tables. For about twelve dollars, you can get the mix/match special of 6 bottles. If you go on a Thursday they have mug night where you can bring any mug up to 52 ounces and fill it up with draft beer for [...]

This watering hole is well-decorated, without being garish. If you love pinball, they have a machine here that will occupy you. Nothing special for the food, you can just order the Chief burger and be done with it. At least, the sauce is above the ordinary, but so you won’t be disappointed, concentrate on the [...]

Blackfinn is a sports bar on Main Street in downtown Royal Oak. Its one of the newer bars and quite popular. They have one big bar and lots of seating. There isn’t much standing room so when it gets busy it becomes very crowded. If you go after 10 on a [...]
