Exactly what you would expect from a funeral home converted to a Mc-Bar.

Mission Theatre
Specifically: McMenamins
McMovie theater with balcony seating, $3 movies, and other frequent events.
Morton's Steakhouse
Specifically: Mortons
Certainly not a happening spot, it is a corporate steakhouse whose patronage, we suspect, comprises entirely of traveling businessmen in town for the convention. Decent HH, pricey drinks.

Specifically: Lompoc
'Tis a brewpub designed for drinkers first, beer geeks second, with amiable yet edgy service and sporting a fantastic outdoor patio for smokers.
