Cool, you're in my neck of the woods when I'm home, however I can't offer any good bar advice.

Tony's - Cox Rd by the water tower
Casa Grande - by the Short Pump Ukrop's
Mexico - corner of Broad and Cox opposite Starbuck's
Chen's - Nuckols Rd by the Food Lion
Alot of good restaurants at Stony Point

there are probably alot more small places that are amazing, but I can't remember.
