    Apollo Theatre

    Once run-down and nearly falling apart, the last of the old St. Marys movie houses has been revitalized. You won't mistake it for a modern multiplex, but it's now a perfectly serviceable theater and a popular place to watch the latest films.

    $6; $3 children/seniors/matinees

    Gunners

    This tavern offers an extensive menu with a number of creative steak, seafood, and pasta options. We're not talking fine dining, here, but good basic meat-and-potatoes food with the occasional interesting twist. The bar area is a popular hangout for locals, but the dining room offers seclusion from the noise. Casual atmosphere. Banquet hall downstairs; lodging upstairs.

    Pfaff's Market

    The only full-service grocery remaining in the city limits, Pfaff's has been around a long time. It's a bit off the main drag, but it's a great alternative to Wal-Mart.

    Ricks Doughboys

    An excellent locally-owned pizza place, with hot and cold subs, wings, strombolis, and several pasta options as well. Good quality, prices quite reasonable. Housed in an expansive former apparel store, redecorated to showcase the owner's classic automobiles, which flank the entrance. A fair amount of seating is available, though most of their business is takeout.
