This is the original location for Grindhouse and we think it's still the best. Great boozy milkshakes and burgers! In nice weather you can walk from the house and sit on the patio to watch the bustle on Piemdont. They always have some funky obscure 70's/ 80's sci-fi movie on (that's not always child friendly).
