Ferg's Sports Bar and Grill sprang from humble beginnings. What started in 1992 as a gas station with 40 seats has since grown into a two-story establishment whose sprawling indoor and outdoor seating areas encompass almost two city blocks. Like the growth of the business, the bar and grill's building materials reflect input from the surrounding community: the wood flooring was compiled from area gymnasiums, and the walls are paneled with hardwood from the old All Children's Hospital.

Owner Mark Ferguson continues to fuel his success with more than 88 TVs, classic bar eats (half-pound burgers, wings, steaks, seafood, ribs), and a calendar filled with live-music and trivia nights as well as offering mini bowling.
