1st and last time I will ever go to this bar. During Oktoberfeast we bought our drinks at B and L…read moreand walked the blocks visiting with friends and family. We walked on the patio to sit and wait for 1 of our friends to come out of there and meet us. The owner came up and started yelling at my son and I that we were a discrase he would be so fing embarrassed if he were us we have alot of nerve walking to his bar with drinks and was yelling infront of everyone on the patio at us. EXTREMELY RUDE. I then told him I apologize we bought our drinks from B and L he then yelled we'll why didn't you say that in the first place....um sorry you started YELLING at us infront of 50 some people and didn't give us a chance to SAY ANYTHING. I will continue going to Rick at B and L were my family and I are treated with respect and not downgraded infront of 50 some strangers. And to top it all off his friends sitting out on the patio continued to yell and call us liers he walked into his bar and didn't day anything to his friends just let them keep talking S**t . Wish I could rate this bar 0 stars. I don't care if your having a bad day NO ONE deserves to be treated the way we were. I am a total beliver of supporting local businesses but not this place after the experience my family and I had.

Overall: This place is for the good old boys. When a newcomer enters, everyone's knows it. Basic…read morebeers and shots. We went in because a man just leaving said they were having a pot luck meal for Thanksgiving and anyone could eat. Since we found no other bars or restaurants open and I kid you not, nothing open, we would take a chance. When we walked in it was eyes right by the patrons. Nobody said a word. We ordered a drink and DJ and I talked amongst ourselves. We were hungry and decided to help ourselves to the food at the back of the room. If we waited for an invitation, it would have not come. The bartender must have been in her 80's and simply took care of business. We would go again knowing this place is for locals. I would by no means call it a dive. It is just a clean simply bar with basic drinks and no food.

For as crowded as it was, it didn't seem loud and there were plenty of places to sit, just not at the bar). Not having a happy hour was disappointing but our waitress softened the blow by letting us know that Shells and Shells Light were $2/bottle. We shared onion rings (came out just like I expected with large, beer battered rings) and Reuben Tots (not very reubeny, so I would skip those next time).

It has a relaxed vibe as most breweries do.
