Neighborhoods value their pubs as places to socialize, just as they value the ends of their rainbows as places to find extra parking-meter change. Enjoy camaraderie at close proximity with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of pub fare plus a pitcher of domestic beer (a $9 value) at The Fieldhouse Pub in Fairfield (a $29 total value).

The Fieldhouse Pub serves up a menu of hearty pub fare and cool beer in a comfortable, friendly neighborhood atmosphere. A fleet of hollow potato canoes delivers a cargo of chopped bacon and melted cheese in the super skins ($7.50), and red onions attempt to out-blush their tomato companions under a gloss of lemon and olive-oil dressing on the arugula salad ($6.95). The hearty eight-ounce pizza burger condenses the flavors of its two-dimensional namesake with mozzarella and marinara sauce on a soft bun ($7.95). Light appetites find an appropriately sized fill with a plate of chicken and whole-wheat penne pasta tossed with prosciutto and spinach ($15.95). Diners flex fingers around a half ($16.95) or full rack ($21.95) of Fieldhouse's famous ribs, which are coated in a homemade whiskey-barbeque sauce and are served alongside a baked potato, fries, or rice. Customers can cool off warmed taste buds and bellies with a pitcher of either Budweiser or Bud Lite, or empty bottles of domestic ($3.75) and imported ($4.75) beers to send birthday cards to family stranded on deserted islands.

A greenhouse-style window fills the dining room with natural light that illuminates diners and triggers photosynthesis in salads. Patrons may also pull up a stool or high-top chair to relax in the bar area beneath a vaulted wooden roof and bathed in the glow of strategically placed televisions airing big games and the latest sports updates.
