Pat's Cocktail Lounge

This Cheers-esque spot in the Valley has the classic look—and smell—of a dive, and the locals love it for that. The easygoing vibe means you don't have to dress up to enjoy the multiple pool tables, karaoke and jukebox tunes. Pat's is the perfect unpretentious place to take in a sports game, especially a hockey match. Order some grub through a hole in the wall from the BBQ spot next door and wash it down with a reasonably priced beer. Fun fact: If you're the designated driver for the night, the bartender will give you unlimited free soft drinks.
