This downtown tavern dates back to the 1920s, when the real Ben Magoon started serving what became much-loved sandwiches. The current owners carry on this tradition, including Magoon's original Reuben. Drinks are creative and include fresh ingredients; the beer list is good. On many nights there's live music.
