Since founder Jim Weaver opened the first Wings Etc. Pub & Grill in 1994, this self-proclaimed "happiness center" has expanded to more than 40 locations across six states, spreading joy in the form of wings slathered in 19 signature sauces. From their glowing neon signs and flat-screen TVs, to their humorously named menu items, Wings Etc. strives to create a laid-back neighborhood feel. Here, regulars can crack jokes as they nosh on hardwood-smoked ribs, made-to-order subs, and jumbo shrimp platters. There's also more than 40 beers on tap, which makes the pub an ideal place for getting drinks after work or watching the big game. To keep tabs on what's going on with the pub, guests can even watch YouTube updates hosted by some foul-mouthed chicken puppets.
