Fric & Frac is that quintessential neighborhood bar and grill that's been around forever. Regulars are drawn by its shabby-chic charm, laid-back atmosphere and friendly service. Waiting on patrons seems to be a group effort at Fric & Frac, with bartenders and servers trading places from moment to moment. There's a game room in back with pool, pinball and darts, and the front section's bar area features tables decked out in authentic oilcloth coverings. Its corner location means Fric & Frac has great window seating and people-watching potential -- which only gets better in summer, when full service is available outdoors on the bustling sidewalk.
For three decades, this popular, tile-floored saloon — still owned by founders Rudy and Judy Ross — has been an almost iconic hangout for drinkers and eaters. When the bar opened in 1981, it didn’t have a grill, but it has gained a reputation for juicy burgers, gyros, Philly sandwiches and cheap dinner specials. Breakfast is served only on Sundays, and Monday nights lure crowds for two-for-one burger specials. Saturday’s taco special (three for $1.50) attracts revelers from all corners of the metro. For diners on a budget, there’s always a tasty special offered whenever the kitchen is open — which is, for those who like to eat late, until 11:30 p.m. — Charles Ferruzza
