The Scene
Fashioned like a police station from the black-and-white-TV era, Big City's first floor houses the calmer, family-oriented restaurant, complete with a large color mural on one wall and an eight-foot Statue of Liberty. Upstairs, in addition to the bar, there are 20-plus championship-sized tables that spread into two ballrooms. There's even a private room with one pool table, leather couches, cocktail tables, and a TV.

The Draw
The main draw is an unbelievable draft beer selection--expect more than 75 varieties, with everything from cheap domestics to tasty local microbrews to exotic imports. Pizza lovers choose from white, green or red varieties (plain, pesto or tomato sauce) and then go with a veggie or meat selection like the New Haven Clams Casino, the Tostada or the Cheeseburger in Paradise. Other dishes include Bangkok Thai chicken sticks and Big Daddy's dry-rubbed ribs.
