The Scene
Simply put, Sonny's is an institution. It caters to a multigenerational cast of colorful characters who run the gamut from classic rockers to art punks. Capacity crowds jam the bar for its live music (five nights a week), making you wish for a little more elbow room. Not loving the band up on stage? Make way to the five pool tables or the dartboards. Eight televisions broadcast sports seasoned with the occasional Comedy Central show.
The Draw
You can't beat the selection at Sonny's: seven beers on tap, 50 bottled domestics and imports, mixed drinks and wine. The kitchen's open from 9am to 11pm. Bacon and eggs, meatball sandwiches and lasagna are just some of the choices offered for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
