Creekwood
Creekwood is a popular neighborhood jaunt that boasts custom-made Neapolitan pizzas. While it is a sin to leave this place without trying their pizzas, you can also order delicious items like meatballs, steak and pasta; if you wish to be on the healthier side, call for a salad or two. Most dishes contain seasonal ingredients so you can be assured of fresh and quality cuisine being served to you. The interiors are adorned with several antique and rustic elements like Holophane lamps that were recovered from a factory in the 1940s, sandblasted Jack Daniels bottles, lights from a demolished Hollandaise factory and iron pipes. However, these elements are blended with modern and elegant furnishings. Check out their website to find out more.
MIXT
This place has been serving up traditional pub fare, a few gourmet treats and lots of smiles in this congenial "publick" house atmosphere since 1981. If you are looking for a quick meal, want to catch a game on the television in the corner, or are just looking for a spirited good time, it is here. Sit at one of the tall tables or at the huge wood bar. The high ceilings and tall windows keep this place from falling into the dark, smoky sports bar category. Find dozens of beers on tap and a full bar. The menu features old standards like nachos and cheesy potato skins as well as the huge Henry's Burger.

Freehouse
Rustic and romantic, Freehouse is a haunt for the beer lover in you. The interior of this beer garden is made to look like a cozy living room; it is furnished with intimate seating spaces and the fireplace keeps patrons warm on colder evenings. Yellow lights and timber-clad walls give this place an old-school look. The outdoor seating in the spacious courtyard lets larger groups dine under the bright California sun. At Freehouse, the menu is ever changing but classics like Beer Poached Mussels, the house salad and Chicken Pot Pie never go out of style. Limited but potent cocktails are on offer along with beers sourced from eminent breweries.
