What kind of a site would be if we didn’t list good ol’ T’s first? “Where everybody knows your name…” this song comes to mind when you walk into T’s. Let’s be real, this is the equivalent to “The Planet”, “Central Perk”, or the “Peach Pit” for a lot of us. With good bar food, friendly atmosphere, and even better service you’ll never really be disappointed at this Northside hangout.
