Afternoon Oaisis, Evening Anarchy

The food here is fantastic. At night, if you want to take out friends to celebrate, and you don't really need to talk to them, this place is perfect. It gets real loud though. But I most love Arriba Arriba during the day. The prices are real low, the margaritas and the mole both just as tasty, and there's a laid-back vibe that's very different than the nighttime insanity.

Friendly, Fun & Cheap

I first visited Pieces in the late 90s when I was still in college. Man, it was a real dump. Things have changed for the better. What I liked about Pieces back in 1999 was that it was almost an attitude-free zone, with a kind staff and very inexpensive drinks. What I did not like was that it was dirty, and that, besides the Tuesday Karaoke, not much was really going on, Pieces is quite the survivor, it would seem, and today, they have managed to keep the chill vibe and good value even as they've added parties and shows every night, and then through their big renovations about two years ago. Now, Pieces is a sure bet for a good time, a bar you could take your parents, but won't, because you're too confident you're gonna find someone to go home with. ;-)
