That's not to say the place is about only $2 domestics as if that would be so terrible! It also boasts some of the most imaginative eats in town. Try these on for size: mini corndogs, sloppy joes, deep-fried Twinkies and even pizza rolls. Toss in a few rec-room standards like a pinball machine and a juke box that's loaded with classics from the 70s and 80s, and it's quite easy to settle in Cans for a few hours. Oh, and if you're looking for something to appeal to your more refined sensibilities, check out the lineups of martinis and specialty drinks.
