I've only been to Vinnie's once & it was for drinks, so I can't speak to the food here. But the nighttime atmosphere is pretty jumping, with plenty of people & plenty of tvs to catch any of the games going on. They seem to have some pretty good booze specials as well, so if you're in the area looking to go out, then this wouldn't be a bad choice. Some of the friends I was with ordered the oysters & seemed to be quite happy with their choice, even though I think the things are nasty. So even though I don't like that type of food, this is apparently what they're known for so if you like raw oysters, then head here to check these out as well.
Head over to Vinnie's if you're looking to catch a game or want some good raw bar seafood. You can usually catch a drink special as well & this would be a good starter bar for the night to me. I wouldn't spend the whole night here, but a mellower night would be great here.
