Hot Eats

You simply cannot afford to miss an evening at the Bagdad Theater and Pub. Make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before a show starts so that you have time to order beer, pizza and snag a good seat. This theater/brewpub is a community staple.

3 Doors Down is an ever-popular hang-out for Italian influenced dishes served by attentive wait staff and an owner that is eager to ensure the customer's complete satisfaction. Enjoy a bottle of vino and some delicious appetizers and pasta dishes, in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
