Albatross Pub the

I find the Albatross to be the perfect place to head when I really don't want to stay in, but don't quite feel like going out either. It's homey and unpretentious. The drinks are reasonably priced. There's often live music, but it's never so loud or crowded that you can't find a seat or chat with your friends. They provide Scrabble and other games for your playing pleasure. In short, its a great spot to relax with old friend and cold beers. Definitely worth keeping in mind. more

The Albatross is a great place to hang out. It has a very low key atmosphere, decent draft selection, and a pool table and dart boards. It also has a sizeable collection of board games, and a popcorn machine spewing out unlimited popcorn for a cover fee of 25 cents. It's a neighborhood bar, but a relatively large one, with several different rooms to choose from. No cover - even when there's music, which can actually be quite good. more

This is a one-of-a-kind social resource. Go with a group of your friends, give your ID to the bartender to "check out" boardgames, darts, or pool cues for free and be entertained for hours! Full bar, many beers on tap, and some hot food. (I think you're still also allowed to order delivery from local restaurants and have it delivered to you at the bar.) For 25 cents you can get a bowl of fresh popcorn with unlimited free refills. Occasionally they have live music events. Every Sunday night, you can participate in Quiz Night for prizes. Show up with your "team" (4-8 friends) and claim a table by 7:30 and be prepared to spend the next 3 hours answering trivia questions or listening to music samples, vying for top place. While this feels like a family-owned coffee shop, it is a bar, so you must be 21 and up. more
