Checker Bar & Grill Description:
The original owner of this downtown bar and grill also once ran the city's Checker Cab Company, hence the bar's name. It's jammed every lunch hour during the week with lawyers and government workers who roll in from the nearby city and county offices. What Checker does best is burgers; try one with homemade chili or blue cheese, or pile your own plain half-pounder with the fixings you prefer. You can't go wrong with the pocket burger either, seasoned ground beef spread on grilled pita bread covered with stir-fried vegetables and ranch dressing. Specials every weekday read like something from your high school cafeteria---expect spaghetti and meatballs and sloppy Joes. There isn't much in the way of atmosphere---unless you get a charge out of photos of high-stepping Budweiser horses. Still, the service is friendly and the crowd agreeable.
