Joey's

Still my center of the universe. Nice selection of beers, Scotches and tequilas, friendly bartenders and servers ... but mostly it's the clientele. I started going there years agon when it was a good place for a PR guy to run into all sorts of media types. It was their hangout. Not so much anymore, but the mix of people is still ideal, for me. They are a variety of young and old, urban workers and professionals. Crowd gets younger and more numerous as the night goes on. Happy hour is usually small. But prices are typical bar prices.

The main part of Joeys is a classic bar. Deep and narrow, with ornate room-length bar. However, there is plenty of room: Outside patio, semi-private mezannine, and a spacious pool hall. Food is remarkably consistent, considering cooks change often. But it's simple, basic fare: Pizza and nachos. Perfect for a snack when you'd rather stay and chat than go to dinner.

It took me moving away from SA to actually visit this place! Not sure how that happened, but I've resolved that problem now.

Great bar where everybody knows your name. Lots of locals but a good mix of visitors as well.

There's a patio space as well as plenty of pool tables. The interior is just dim enough. There are about a dozen craft beers on type and a full bar.

The food is actually better than I thought it would be! The pizza smells awesome at 1 a.m.!

Sit, grab a drink and chillax.

Great place to hangout.  Prices are fair and the atmosphere is chill.  Also great pizza served just when you get to that drunk-hungry state 'round midnight.
