Formerly named Wackadoo's, the Jolly Scholar is now independently owned and not under a corporate thumb. Besides the usual pub fare, there's a smoker for barbeque ribs, chicken and pulled pork. Complimenting the bar are eight flat screen TVs and free Xbox and Nintendo Wii, including Thursday night Rock Band tournaments.
