One of three similar places on "Traders Beach," Alcock's is directly across the street from Cactus Cantina. "Enjoy a martini on our Olympic-theme deck," says co-owner Susan Kolbus. The deck, with Olympic columns lined with flags, was built in honor of the running of the Olympic torch through downtown in 1996. Inside the cavernous bar there is a pool table, a few video games and a jukebox.
