sneaky's is a total dive, but in the best meaning of the term.  unbelievably good mexican food, cheap drinks, great down-to-earth crowd.  you can stay here for hours and not get bored. plus there's always good indie live bands playing upstairs...

i would have given this 5 stars had they not…More »
