Interesting beers, good food, and always accommodating to our daughter.


Fireflies, on the corner of Mount Vernon and Nelson Avenues, (close to Al's Steak House, almost across the street) has delicious food, great service, and has a large following of people who drop in for meals and music during the week. Take the time to drop into Fireflies sometime soon!
