Sun Dog Diner, Atlantic Beach

This spot could be straight out of the 1950s. There is a trendy cigar room here, a full bar, and live music keeps the party jumping every night with the area's best rock and jazz bands. Standard diner fare is on tap, including crispy onion rings, big and juicy hamburgers, and thick milkshakes. They also serve seafood, steak, and chicken dishes, and generous sandwiches like turkey Reubens and heroes. A lively happy hour is from 11a-7p.
