ABG's

This clean, cool bar is holding down Provo’s Center Street night life. Come for the drinks and music, but don’t forget the food. Entrees are artfully described, like haiku of deliciousness -- for the Great Garlic Burger: “The amazing, rich garlic flavor dances with the creamy Swiss.” Also, the owner, Big Dane, makes his own barbecue sauce, the Big Mouth BBQ Sauce, which is almost worth drinking by itself. The bartenders are friendly, welcoming and easy to talk to. There’s also live music every weekend that ranges from local rock bands to blues to heavy-metal screamers. ABG’s is super casual and will feel like home if you’re not careful.
