Everyone knows about Ramen Tatsuya, but no one knows about Sazan, and it in fact is amazing. The location is great also, close to 99 Ranch Asian Market and other similar establishments. Definitely worth a trip!

A tiny shotgun-style dive bar off of West 6th, Dirty Bill's is a local favorite if you want to see people dancing on tables and chairs, seriously. Only go here if you like dancing in a crowded bar next to complete strangers. Extremely fun if that's what your into though!

A relatively new Fine Dining restaurant from a well known chef in town. Dimly lit and always bustling, this is a great date night spot, or a great place to sit at the bar and enjoy a martini.
