Local taverns are the watering holes of society, freeing up hard-working citizens to bad-mouth their robot superiors and unwind after a stressful day at the lie factory. Let loose with today's Groupon. For $7, you get $15 worth of food and drink at Pete & Shorty's Tavern. This Groupon is valid at both the Clearwater and Pinellas Park locations.

Inspired by the small-town taverns of the Midwest, Pete & Shorty's Tavern is an unpretentious and a friendly gathering place where friends and families flock for comfort food and cold beers. Step into the tavern's cozy interior and wrap your taste buds around a selection from the meat-centric menu of appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees. The sandwich offerings include a pan-fried pork tenderloin sandwich ($6.99) and the sought-after Loose-Meat Pete ($3.99), a more seasoned and far friendlier cousin to the morally questionable Sloppy Joe. Grab a dozen ($10.99) or half dozen ($5.59) famous Shorty burgers to eat on the patio, or share a pork shank ($11.99) with your mother or your recently paroled college professor. Pete & Shorty's Tavern also serves up draft beer from its full bar of libations—toast to coastal erosion during the tavern's late-night hours, or sip away the seconds during one of the restaurant's two daily happy hours.

• The bargains are everywhere here, as is the friendly staff. This is a good place to stock up en route to the beach---a straight shot westward down Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. Although the fried pickles alone are enough for a detour. – Gayot
• …love the outdoor seating! Best fries EVER! Staff was friendly and attentive. Food and Drinks were reasonable. – Diane, Urbanspoon
