Nickies pub is our favorite near us. There are many bars between here and there but this is the most sane. Good food, too! If loud and bustling is your thing, you'll definitely find it along the way.

My idea of the best burger -- only open for lunch on weekdays! The owner/server is an abrasive Chinese woman, but if you're nice to her she's super sweet and will sit down and talk to you.
