While doing so, I enjoyed a frosty beverage and watched the barflies argue about sports. Quite entertaining. The place is clean, the beer is cold, the service is friendly. [Review 19743 overall - 220 in Missouri - 715* of 2023.] * Today is May 23 and it is the 143rd day of the year. With this review, I have finally caught up to an average of 5 reviews per day (143 x 5 = 715). If I can keep this up (I have plenty to review from this trip!), I will end the year with 1825 reviews. And that won't even be the most reviews I've ever written in a year!

One pool table and two dart boards. Most people that come here are regulars but they don't discriminate against new customers. Everyone is friendly. They have a nice outside porch on the back for smokers. You can play Keno and scratchers if that's your thing. They will make you popcorn if you want. Some Saturday's they grill or have food, that's nice. They play music when the juke box isn't running so it's not all quiet.

I was able to study the list and select a beer, then found a great seat by the window that not only had a view of the street and a little bit of a breeze but also a power outlet. About two hours (and two beers) later, I had caught up on my Yelp reviews for the day, I had done some people watching, and I was ready to meet my friend for dinner across the street.

Honestly, I was completely unimpressed with this place…read more I ordered a margarita with orange juice and it tasted only like orange juice. I had to send it back and I try not to do that but I couldn't drink it. The queso taco was not good. I ate one and left the other two. There wasn't much cheese.

I had to have another person bring me a drink. My server didn't tell me I had to pay at the front. I was sitting there waiting for him to pick up my card and he never returned.
