Folino's (or Youngs) is a Southside go-to for my friends because its centrally located and pretty devoid of the typical SS crowd.
The place is big enough you can normally grab a table to spread out, and they always have good drink specials.
We normally don't stay here all night, but it makes a great place to meet up and get some drinks before wandering into the danger zone... aka 99% of Carson Street.
