| Waltzing
Matilda |
Not
a bad little place, and one of the oldest pubs in the Combat Zone. Follows
the regular happy hour with 2 for 1. A band usually kicks in After 8:30
p.m.
Lost the exact address, sorry, but it's just a few doors down from My Place. |
| Mariners Pub | Opposite the Matilda. Nothing special about this place, but it does have a cozy atmosphere wherein you could easily spend the entire night. No happy hour, but it does have a pool table. If you are on your own, no worries, the waitresses love playing. |
