The Ainsworth

"This is more of your upscale sports bar. It has a very high-end, luxe interior similar to an upscale lounge - high ceilings, chandeliers, dark wood, etc.  I also go to The Ainsworth for my favorite, their short rib grilled cheese. There are tons of flat screens, which is a plus when you want to watch as many games especially during March Madness or the NBA games. If there is a big game, it's better to make reservations ahead of time for a table."
