You can smoke in here, so it's no children allowed. It's a big place, the bar itself not so big (but they got purse hooks) but plenty of tables. There's a juke box, electronic darts, some other games plus two pool tables. The barmaid's name I believe is Lynn and she's very cool, sharp and funny. Typical domestic bottle beers, all the hard stuff, and occasional cocktail specials like today for Halloween. Creepy decorations were up for a party tonight and they even had free pumpkin shaped cookies. What's not to like?

Fried pickled spears were amazing. And Joe is the best bartender. A gem in Centerville.read more

We were actually heading several miles further west to check out another place but I spotted the sign and the Brown Jug just kinda called to me. Glad we came in. Great food! Cheeseburger was excellent and so was the chicken salad sandwich, both made to order. Bar seats looked really comfortable and also cozy tables just a stone's throw from the bar. Pool room with a juke box and electronic darts. Brown jugs in the front windows. And ashtrays on every table. And the whole place was SO clean. Call me crazy but I'm going to find errands to do in Centerville so we can go back here again!

Lots of Pabst paraphernalia on the wall informed my fluid selection, but the $2.75 for a can was a bit much, IMFO.

They had Ohio Lottery machines inside and broadcast the Keno games inside the bar and also paid out in the bar. There was a pool table and a couple dart boards as well.

She took care of our drinks, I had a Woodford Reserve Bourbon and coke and the hubby had Country Boy Shotgun Wedding beer. We ordered salsa and chips, patty melt and onion rings, and potstickers. Only the salsa and chips were lackluster. We would definitely stop again if we are in the neighborhood. Sadly I did not win on my Keno tickets LOL.

The kitchen is currently not in operation but there's pizzas and munchies. Cigarettes and lighters are for sale behind the bar. They are closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. Hope to have the opportunity to stop on here again.
