TASTY TAVERN: Pub Fare
Is there anything more convenient during a night at the bar than having a kitchen right there on the premises? No, there isn’t. These are our favorite gay bar kitchens.
Burkhart’s
You’d be hard pressed to find a more delicious meal at these prices. Cooks are just on the other side of the bar ready to fix you full-course plates of man-that-hits-the-spot. Sauces made with real butter and meat that’s never frozen ups the bar food game.
Eat this: Yes, they have jalapeno poppers and fried mozzarella, but one of three butcher-cut, chargrilled Steak Dinners with two fresh sides is not to be missed. You’re welcome.

You may know it for its DJs, drinks and dudes, but you’re going to love its delicious dishes too. From starters to burgers to entrees and salads, you don’t have to leave your bar stool to enjoy a phenomenal meal.
