For those in search of a small, and mostly standout, selection of home-style Polish foods, finding this hidden away eatery, behind a Radio Shack and a Walgreens at Seventh Street and Dunlap in Sunnyslope, is a Valley discovery of Poland’s rich and hearty fare.

Showing 1607 - 1628 of 2300Not much has changed at Pomeroy’s since it opened in 1983, aside from a COVID-era plexiglass shield surrounding the cocktail fixings at the bar (no more snagging a quick Maraschino cherry).

The muted interiors at Pour Bastards are relatively monochromatic, […]
