Description: For another guaranteed good time, try the Roadhouse Cafe.

5. Tommy Doyles
City: Hyannis, MA
Category: Nightlife
Telephone: 508-862-9430
Address: 334 Main St.
Description: When Tommy Doyles took over the former Hooters on Main Street in Hyannis, it filled a hole in the hub’s night life. Although there is plenty of Irish next door at the 19th Hole and clubbing available elsewhere, the combination of an Irish pub and late-night entertainment appears to be a success so far. The restaurant can appear empty at times but that’s partially because it is so big. The food is standard pub fare with Irish themes throughout the menu. Open seven days for lunch and dinner. At night live entertainment in the back room draws big crowds after 10 p.m.
