Pub Grub in Orlando

Equal parts craft beer joint, sports bar and restaurant, Crafted endeavors to be something for everyone with mixed results. The modern pub-grub fare is highlighted by a decent selection of messy burgers fashioned from a mix of short rib, brisket and chuck. The cottage pie with steak tips is also worth considering, but be wary of overdressed Cajun snapper and insipid barbecue-rubbed grilled wings. There’s a nice selection of craft brews available on tap or by the bottle.

Sports bar with an urban vibe and a decor befitting Vern Yip's design portfolio can only do so much to mitigate a disjointed dining experience. Empanadas, onion rings, corn dogs and other finger food faves trump some of the more ambitious offerings, like chicken kebabs, gourmet pizzas and pastitsio. Focus is what's missing, but the restaurant's a work in progress. Open daily.

Formerly Tom and Mony's Backroom, the new name didn’t change the inside: a basic (but cheap!) beer/liquor selection, a pool table, video games, bar food, friendly service and a splash of regulars. They do offer a pale McWells ale made by Budweiser; it tastes OK and only costs $1.50, so forgive the subterfuge.
