Always-bustling North Side bar and grill with Southwestern flair.. The Scene
By day, Roadhouse is a Southwestern bar and grill serving up burgers and beer; nights, it feels more like a club with a DJ and jammed dance floor. One side of the room is lined with old car seats; vintage gas station signs add more character. For those with an affinity for the bar culture of the '80s, saddles attached to the bar provide a perch for doing tequila shots.

The Draw
A jovial crowd fills the dance floor (later moving to the top of the bar), shaking it to everything from house to honky-tonk. If dancing isn't your thang, you can shoot pool, view a little college roundball and catch a game on TV sets showing 'round-the-clock ESPN.

A pretty good time.... This place is like three different bars in one. In one area, you have the "Coyote Ugly" type bar with attractive bartenders shouting things over the PA. In another is a dance area complete with tv screens, a dj, body shots, and girls dancing on the bar. And a third area is dimly lit and has a couple pool tables. Try and get a party on a Friday, you get in for free and there's an hour of free drinks. Prices are average, bouncers can be friendly (although why they make you stand in a line outside is beyond me - there's no reason for it). Try the Blue MotherF*cker... a little expensive but well worth it.

Go for the smokin' bartender!. This place is a dive, but at around 2 or 3 it really picks up. Not a whole lotta girls, but there is one girl who does a great job giving shots. I don't know how much you pay, but she puts you into a saddle, on your back, and then grinds like a pornstar headliner until you want to "happy time" all over the place. Didn't do it, but she could move her body, and made for a nice show, and compensated for the lack of females.
