Jack's Place

The bar area at Jack’s Place resembles the deck of a ship, with its brass railings, wood floor, and elevation above the rest of the dining area. Instead of a crow’s nest with a lookout, there’s a multiple-sided bar with a libation-specialist slinging dozens of liquors. The homey interior, where wood panels abound and a cheerful atmosphere surrounds guests, also houses the pleasant scents of crab-stuffed mushroom caps and buffalo wings. Along one wall, video arcade games and dartboards blink beneath a slew of beer signs and mirrors, while patrons seated at stools watch a flat-screen TV angled into a corner. Against the other wall, a smattering tables sit on another raised platform like another ship in the fleet. Here, parties enjoy entrees of steak and haddock atop black tablecloths, which are also what pirates put over their booty.
