Places

While you get the feeling that Pub 13 would be the perfect place to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs or the World Series, it breaks the sports bar mold with its dueling piano shtick. It's an indoor version of the campfire sing-along, only with pianos and no mosquitoes. Even though the show should be called "College: The Musical," it's a shockingly good time if you can let go of your too-cool attitude long enough to relive Top 40 radio's glory days. Sing along to Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, and Journey (the crowd goes wild for Bon Jovi and Def Leopard). It's an opportunity for you to channel your inner Richard Cheese. With high ceilings and open space, this demented drunken glee club sounds better than you'd think. And really, as you drink more beer you sound better than ever, honey. The menu is typical bar fare, although the pasta was a surprise delight. Sometimes you just need pizza, beer and a hearty round of "Livin' On A Prayer" to make the troubles of the world go away.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Full contact karaoke is right here, folks. Seriously. Drunken sorority sisters crooning to Beyonce just won't do. Knock your version of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" out of the park and you might just walk away with Tiger's tickets. Or a new BBQ grill. Seriously, this is a cut throat music competition that draws a giddy mix of gays, straights, hipsters and locals. It's a veritable melting pot of warbling locals.
