At Inwood Bar and Grill, a swath of green, red, and blue floodlights illuminate a chessboard-patterned floor, hinting at the mix of upscale elegance and playful energy that fills the pub. More than 50 TV screens with live sound broadcast national and international sports, filling the massive space—part sports bar, part gastropub, part beer garden and event hall—with cheers. The only thing bigger than the space is the menu, which features a full range of specialties to satisfy virtually any palate:

• Appetizers such as ceviche, fried calamari, tuna tartare, or pork wings

• Grill specialties such as lamb chops, baby back ribs, or a 32-ounce tomahawk steak for two people to share or help raise as their own

• Entrees such as surf and turf, sorrentino chicken breast, and whole red snapper

• A full range of seafood, from vegetable-stuffed seabass to lobster tails

• Traditional pub food such as sliders, burgers, and Tex-Mex
