"Carson’s open, communal aesthetic invites guests into a rustic yet refined atmosphere with a large bar, TVs, and outdoor seating. Pair Prohibition-style cocktails, local beers, or wine with sweet and spicy ribs tossed in Sriracha bourbon barbecue sauce. You can also add a romaine wedge salad or the soup of the day, or choose an a la carte side (go for the creamy, smoked Gouda macaroni and cheese). During happy hour (from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday), there are discounted appetizers, well drinks, draughts, and wines, as well as $8 Old Fashioneds made with a selection of more than 20 bourbons." - Lennie Omalza
