Tiki-themed Tapa’s Restaurant & Lanai Bar is a laid-back spot, with a welcoming vibe, pool tables, a jukebox and a karaoke machine (which blessedly is in its own room). The cheap Sunday brunch is a huge draw, especially the banana pancakes. There's good bar food other times and a fine lanai all the time.
