Phenomenal pizza, Philly cheesesteaks, and homemade pasta in a family-friendly, come-as-you-are atmosphere best describes Maxwell’s, a hangout popular with both locals and visitors alike. Plenty of TVs populate the bar, ensuring you won’t miss a play. A slightly more upscale dining/bar experience can be had next door at the adjoining Myrtle Rose (myrtlerose.com), a comfort-food homage to owner Steven Maxwell’s grandmother Myrtle, where the short ribs and stuffed acorn squash highlight the menu.
