Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
An all-purpose food-and-drink emporium, lively and popular Ryan's has an exceptionally well-stocked bar, with 20 beers on tap, window-front tables offering a view over the park and the beach, and TVs broadcasting sports. Lunch, dinner, and small plates are served until midnight. The eclectic menu ranges from an addictive hot crab-and-artichoke dip with focaccia to grilled fresh fish, pasta, salads, and sophisticated versions of local favorites, such as the Kobe beef hamburger steak. Happy hour here is hugely popular, with discounts on drinks and food daily 3–7 pm and after 9 pm.
