While some sports bars are all sports, all the time, the Thirsty Merchant is more of a neighborhood bar that shows plenty of sports, alongside excellent cocktails and a pool table. For afternoon games, The Thirsty Merchant offers a solid happy hour between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. with $10 snacks, $5 beer, and $10 cocktails. If hungry, the bar offers a solid food menu with pizza, salads, burgers, and more." - Rebecca Roland
