Known for great food and an upbeat bar, King Street is the perfect place to spend an entire evening. Start off with a dinner of ribs or barbecue, and then have a drink or two while perusing the décor, which boasts neon lights, photos, swirling colors, ceiling-hung airplanes, and more. After that, take in some live music (featured many nights), which showcases local talents. As the evening wears on, the roadhouse atmosphere kicks in, and young crowds show up for bands and to watch sports on several TVs. METRO: King Street
