Great beers, atmosphere, and food. Go on Wednesday for Trivia with Brian, or catch a game on one of the screens. My favorite is their Irish Red with a cobb salad (big enough for 2) or some delicious wings. They are usually closed by 9 so check the hours.

Sightseeing
A great view but here are also hiking trails all around, and you can head down to the beach for some sea level sights. If you park in the main lot you'll need a discover pass, $30 for the year or $10 for a day pass.
