HOTTIES QUOTIENT: Less than overwhelming. Despite the Spurs game playing on multiple screens, this bar didn't draw the types of sports-loving hotties one might expect. Folks who could pass for weekend warriors at Home Depot seemed to be the primary crowd. Rev your lawn mowers 'cause this place isn't called a Neighborhood Bar & Grill for nothing.

WALLET HANGOVER: Even if you don't get some hot digits, your wallet should be perky come morning. All of the entrees and sandwiches served here, from the exotic Monte Cristo to the 10 oz. New York Strip, are priced $8.50 or below. With 19 domestic longnecks priced at $3 and 21 premium bottled beverages from Fat Tire to Smirnoff Twisted V Wild Grape priced at $3.50, buying a round for the gang shouldn't be too much to handle. Happy hours and daily specials bring down the prices even more. Plus, there's no cover to see live music.

THE 210 TAKE: If you're TV's a bit on the small side, stop by to pay a little attention to Charlie Brown's 8-by-11 foot projection screen. Other entertainment includes live music from rock bands to honky-tonk, karaoke, trivia nights, pool, darts as well as the friendly staff. And don't forget to snag your lady love a stuffed animal from the claw machine or at least scrawl your endearments on the blackboard bathroom walls with the chalk provided. Just remember to wash your hands.
