3. Jack Brown’s Beer + Burger Joint

If your visitors are craving burgers, take them to Jack Brown’s downtown. Jack Brown’s is a chain restaurant, but it’s a consistent favorite among our team. Plus, the atmosphere is dark and moody which makes it the perfect place to enjoy a beer and burger.

When: Sun.-Wed., 11AM-12AM; Thurs.-Sat., 11AM-2AM.
