Master Critic Review
The District
7.7
The District is a 3rd Avenue pub where burgers, fried appetizers, and draft beers run alongside a steady sports-bar crowd until late. With a big drink menu and a surprisingly broad food lineup, it works best for groups that want a full night out without leaving the neighborhood.
