FOOD | SAMPLER
BURGERS CHARLEY’S GRILL & SPIRITS 801 N. Monroe St. | 328-8911 This cozy Monroe Street restaurant and lounge provides a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the courthouse next door. The menu features Angus beef hamburgers, 8-ounce sirloin steaks, fried appetizers, a full bar and a retro cigarette vending machine. Tickets for the Spokane Arena, INB Performing Arts Center, Fox Theater, Bing Crosby Theater, or Spokane Civic Theatre will get you 20 percent off food items. PARADISE CREEK BREWERY 245 S.E. Paradise St., Pullman | 338-9463 Paradise Creek finally gives you an excuse to use the words “adorable” and “beer” in the same sentence. Located in an antique post office, this place has mastered the art of taking the old and adding flair — from the atmosphere down to the menu. Standouts on the menu include their Lamb Burger and the BBQ sauce made with their own porter.
THRIFTY SCOTSMAN 12024 E. Sprague Ave. | 928-2214 They weren’t joking with the thrift thing. This place is cheap. Inside the small, unadorned block building are a smattering of old-fashioned arcade machines, but the real fun is going through the drive-thru. Trust us. Try a Scotsman Burger. You’ll be glad you did. MARY LOU’S MILK BOTTLE 802 W. Garland Ave. | 325-1772 You can’t go wrong with diner-style food and 1950s nostalgia, especially at this neighborhood icon. The retro-throwback restaurant in the heart of the Garland District takes customers back to a simpler time, when the burgers were served with homemade milkshakes, the fries were cut fresh, and the bill didn’t hit our pocketbooks too hard. You can easily relive the past with a patty melt and huckleberry milkshake, made (of course) with Mary Lou’s own homemade ice cream.
Look for businesses with...
BLACK DIAMOND BILLIARDS AND EATERY 9614 E. Sprague Ave. | 891-8357 This place is one of the best reasons to dabble in Spokane Valley nightlife. The Black Diamond — or the Diamond, as the locals say — is a onestop adult playground, filled to the brim with pool tables, live DJs, food specials and a ton of craft brews on tap. Monday is spaghetti night, and you can fill yourself up with a plate of pasta, salad and garlic bread for just $7. With daily happy hour on weekdays and a full dessert menu, there are so many other reasons to love this place.
