Recently redesigned, the Great Bear Pub has gone a great way from its skeezy predecessor. Occasional live music shows it’s trying to be more than a local watering hole, and it should be. The on-tap selection is strong, and it’s open reasonably late (as is their kitchen though Denny’s next door makes late-night food a non-issue one way or another). It also has an adjacent liquor store that is open till 9am-11pm every day.
Pint of Molson: $4.91
