Howl at the moon- Fun place that attracts the "wedding party" crowds. Get there very early/late or you will wait in line to get in. If you are from Dallas it is not as good as Petes piano bar.
The Tavern- Good luck driving a nice car there the parking is a joke. Its like hot magma came up from the ground and created an obstacle course. They have live music but is kind a "dump".
Maple leaf pub- Never that crowded and the happy hour / drink prices are high.
