Breaking bread is a bonding experience, encouraging new friendships while testing the strength of communal sledgehammers. Swing into sustenance with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of American fare and drinks at The Pewter Mug.

For more than 40 years, the foodsmiths at The Pewter Mug have crafted a menu brimming with juicy steaks, succulent prime rib, and fresh seafood, complemented by imported and domestic brews. Grumbling stomachs hush at the sight of starters such as the Oyster Rockefeller plate, which tops five shelled delicacies with bacon and mozzarella arranged in the shape of an oil baron’s monocle ($10.99). Chefs meticulously season and slow roast tender cuts of prime rib before resting the enticing entree beside a starchy selection, such as baked or mashed potatoes ($19.99+), and succulent sirloins tip the scales at either 8 ($16.99) or 12 ounces ($18.99). A trove of seafood treasures arrive grilled or fried, such as the flame-kissed mahi-mahi, which swims through a sea of lemon beurre blanc sauce ($19.99), or the panko-breaded coconut shrimp, which are cooked to a golden brown and served with a chalice of sweet-and-sour marmalade and a diamond-encrusted trident ($22.99).

Patrons receive access to the salad bar with every entree, and hearty helpings can partner with one of 40 types of wines or an imported or domestic brew. Rustic cherry-wood walls line the cozy Pewter Bar, filled with high-top tables and elevated chairs along the marble-top bar. Peruse the online schedule for upcoming live entertainment and music, which regularly flood the neighborhood spot.
