Bad Dog Tavern

If you’re looking for an outdoor patio for a night of drinking and a few bites of sustenance to keep you from getting entirely sloshed, head here. The tree-lined patio, with views of guitar heroes marching into Old Town School of Folk Music, is tough to beat for a lazy summer’s night. The signature Bad Dog black Angus burger with crispy fries is a good bet, but steer clear of the sickeningly sweet mango-and-tequila-glazed pork ribs. But go only when you have time to settle in; the service can be just as leisurely as the night.
