Deaver's Restaurant and Sports Bar

Since opening Deaver's Restaurant and Sports Bar in 2003, owners Derek Deaver and Ryan Pinkston have strived to make every guest feel like they're home. This gracious mindset helped the casual American eatery earn a handful of accolades, such as the Best Neighborhood Bar in North County award from RiverFront Times in 2008. But a friendly and attentive staff is only 50% of their equation for success, with a lengthy menu of American eats comprising the other half.

Chefs grill half-pound burgers to the pinnacle of juiciness before crowning them with sautéed onions and crumbled bleu cheese. St. Louis style thin crust pizzas ooze with melting cheese, and weekly specials of meatloaf and barbeque ribs pair with any of the 13 beers on tap at the bar.

To add to Deaver's casual ambience, television sets and framed sports memorabilia hang in the spacious dining room, and an arcade lined with video games keeps kids occupied. Outdoors, guests dine beneath umbrellas on the patio, and larger parties celebrate in a private banquet hall capable of holding up to 50 guests or two Jolly Green Giants. Deaver's team also aims to make their community as happy as their regulars by supporting local churches and schools, as well as offering a 10% discount to seniors, EMT personal, fire fighters, and police officers.
