M. T. Pockets

The experience at M. T. Pockets has definitely suffered since Steve's Clam Bar decamped for the EXPO Market across the street, but still they soldier on, serving cheap drinks in a delightfully scruffy setting to a crowd that skews slightly older than other spots on the strip. Highlights include a chilled-out, almost intimate atmosphere and drinks that are well-prepared and stronger than your average; lowlights include the service, which can be gruff bordering on hostile, and watch out if you're ordering off the food menu, as the kitchen staff isn't always what you'd call "on the ball".
