Behind its unobtrusive glass front, this self-described "beer, BBQ & blues" joint is clean, mellow and pretension-free, with a crowd of semi-hip regulars who warmly greet the barkeeps by their first names. Grab a stool at the long, mirror-backed bar or relax in the plethora of couches.  During the daily happy hour from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., down free second rounds or savor two flavorful mint juleps made with Jim Beam Black Label for $12. Bring some bills for the wide-ranging jukebox. Rotating daily drink specials keep the southern hospitality flowing. — Katie Claypoole
