Ringside Cafe   

Tasty menu items, cheap prices and exceptional nightly entertainment make Ringside Cafe a favorite for regular barflies and music lovers alike. The menu features a good mix of standard bar fare and flavorful home-style specialties. Spicy tomato bisque and the tender grouper sandwich are popular choices, and weekly specials include all-you-can-eat baby back ribs. Apart from the killer local bands that perform, what keeps the regulars coming back are the burgers, the most popular lunchtime pick. They char-grill them here, and a huge pile of fries comes alongside. The atmosphere lacks pretension, adding to the appeal -- but you can still get away with ordering a martini if beer doesn't strike your fancy. Though you can come to enjoy food and drinks and avoid the music by sitting upstairs, live blues performances by mostly local artists comprise the best element of Ringside Cafe, so be sure to sit up front for at least a set or two. You can also get down on the dance floor.
