A hunter dive bar that is surprisingly vegan-friendly
This dive bar is full of surprises. Next to the stuffed deer heads, Sportsman's offers amazing drink specials and a fair amount of vegan and vegetarian dining options. Everything from appetizers, such as battered mushrooms and onion rings, to hearty salads, and even a grilled veggie sandwich and Boca burger called "The Liberal."

I used to stop in here about once a week after work to grab a bite to eat and drink, as well as to catch up on my weekly Pulse, Onion or City Pages reading.
What I like about the Sportsman is that it doesn't try to rise above its image as a neighborhood bar, and they even call themselves a dive bar, yet it is a little different from your average place.
I was pleasantly surprised once when the server informed me that they use the same vat to deep fry all of their fried food-- something that I assumed, but I was glad that she pointed it out to me.
The food won't likely 'wow' you, but if you're in the neighborhood and are feeling neighborly, stop in sometime.
Updated Review:
Sporty's now has a $1.40 boca burger offer from 4-6pm throughout the week, and 4-10pm on Wednesdays.
When you get a chance, check this place out on Monday nights for a $3 cover, you can get $2 pitchers until midnight and an all-you-can-eat taco bar. The taco bar has great vegetarian refried beans, hard and soft-shell tacos, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, etc. Additionally the owners of the bar have some sense of humor, calling their 1/4 lbs Boca burger "The Liberal" and adding "Be kind to animals" at the end of the description. The "Big Veggie" grilled veggie sandwich, can be made without cheese, and under this sandwich's description, it says "Yes, you are morally superior." :-D
