The massive 6,000 square-foot space boasts a separate dining room sans TVs so you can enjoy food from the family-owned Palermo's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, including the delicious sweet sauce deep-dish pan, thin crust and stuffed pizza, plus pastas and standard pub fare.

And for those looking for a more sophisticated cocktailing scene, walk all the way through the venue, out the back door and enter the speakeasy-inspired 1914.
