You’ll Enjoy: Cleverly-Disguised “Seafood”

You absolutely must visit Bruce’s Bar.  Established in 1957, the specialty here is “Rocky Mountain oysters”, which are actually deep-fried bull testicles.  If strange creature parts aren’t your thing, yak steaks and burgers are also offered.  Bruce’s has live music and a full menu of cold beers on tap and cheap wings every day.
