Drinks & Nightlife
This iconic Kenton dive bar is world famous! Although some would say it's for the customer service, or near-nightly live music, the boozy patio or even the Sunday brunch, it is actually because one scene of a Raquel Welch movie was filmed there many, many years ago. And I hear not much has changed in there since...

The most expensive thing you can purchase in this dive bar is a pitcher of Budweiser. It costs $6.75. Cash only. And it doesn't matter how old (or young) you are; you'll be the youngest one in there. Closes at 10, so come early.
