Game

STONE ELEPHANTDIDN’T START with a sports bar concept, but the casual, caveman-themed restaurant has become a great place for Lake Highlands residents to catch the game. There are flat screen TVs on every wall and several behind the bar with the NFL Sunday Ticket. When the game’s not on, the stage features local bands on Friday nights and family karaoke on Thursdays. Chow down on the Stone E Burger, topped with anything you want, and take some time to notice the quirky décor like cracked stone walls and the model bird nests up above. —EMILY TOMAN
