"The inside of Grand Prize Bar, a two-story dive bar in the Museum District, is entirely blacked out, save for the neon lights scattered throughout to help you see the drink menus. Come by during Happy Hour and order a “Happy Meal” (a beer and a shot), shoot a round or two of pool with a stranger. The kitchen has a rotating menu of solid bar food (anything from birria tacos to chili-cheese hotdogs). And if you need to remember what the sun looks like, head up to the terrace overlooking Bell Park." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
