104 DRINK SPORTS BAR T H E L A Z Y D O G Size isn't everything when it comes to what makes a sports bar a game-changer in our book. Sure, you need a bunch of high-definition televisions and beer, but you also need good grub and a community atmosphere. The Lazy Dog manages to score all the points with an active calendar of games, trivia, and live music coupled with fan favorites like steak tips. Bonus points: They also sup- port local charities by hosting fundraisers on Sundays. 328 Broadway, Lynn, 781-477-1988, lazydogoflynn.com R E A D E R S' C H O I C E T A V E R N I N T H E S Q U A R E 189 Washington St., Salem, 978-740-2337, taverninthesquare.com WINE LIST T I E PELLANA PRIME STEAKHOUSE Wine director Nick Grimshaw cultivates Pellana's impressive collection of wines. With upwards of 400 bot- tles, they offer both geographical and varietal breadth. There is also a collectibles selection from some of the world's great winemakers. Procuring your own collec- tion? Pellana provides wine lockers so you can store your own bottles for your next visit. 9 Rear Sylvan St., Peabody, 978-531-4800, pellanarestaurant.com THE BLUE OX To us, a wine list should not be a book reserved for spe- cial occasions; it should be approachable, smartly curated, and fairly priced. The Blue Ox delivers on all fronts. Like Chardonnay? Try a Chablis or Burgundy from France. Go off the beaten path with Picpoul (exceedingly delicious with oysters), an Austrian red, or a big, bold Nebbiolo. There's always a featured bottle and it's always a treat. 191 Oxford St., Lynn, 781-780-5722, theblueoxlynn.com R E A D E R S' C H O I C E C E I A K I T C H E N + B A R 38 State St., Newburyport, 978-358-8112, ceiakitchenbar.com North Shore Magazine August 2015 SUMMER Highlights AT THE SHALIN LIU PERFORMANCE CENTER rockportmusic.org :: 978.546.7391 Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas 4th Annual Rockport Jazz Festival August 13ƒ16 Mikarimba Featuring marimbist Mika Stoltzman and drummer Steve Gadd Alicia Olatuja Young jazz singer taking the world by storm Joey Alexander An 11-year-old prodigy who Wynton Marsalis called "a little genius."
