I just recently bought a house very near to this place and when I did, I decided that I needed to find my new favorite bar. Found it first try!
This is one of the friendliest, most welcoming bars Ive ever been to. There is absolutely nothing special about the decor, the waitresses are sassy but friendly in that sort of "im a really nice person but I also dont give a rats ass what you think about me or this bar" kind of way--and I can appreciate that. I mean, its a bar, for christs sake, who needs formality?
The music is country. Old-school country. Hank Williams and Johnny Cash country. In other words, the only good kind of country. I normally hate most country music, but If I gotta hear it, it better be old-school and I had better be in a bar.
The standard american beers on tap, plus Blue Moon! Gotta love blue moon on tap...
The food is not the star of the show, people, but they got the right food for the right time. Need a little something in your belly? Have a hot dog, burger, or some french fries. Need something to either prevent or cure a hangover? Try the hangover burrito with just a little of everything but the kitchen sink!
Truth be told, the real selling point here is none of the above: Its the people who come here. This is THIS neighborhood's bar, and this happens to be a very nice, diverse, welcoming neighborhood. I once showed up here randomly and someone was holding a birthday party: I was invited to a rather large free meal, karaoke, and pool on the house! Had a really good time with everyone that day.
Theres a patio out back for the smokers or those looking for a fresh breeze. Parking in the side and back of the building. Lucky for me, If I should ever get a little too tipsy, I can walk home (although Id have to go past a police station to do it). Even if I dont feel like walking, the staff is more than happy to call a cab for you.
This bar is a simple, back-to-basics, no-frills, welcome-home kind of bar. Come in for a frosty beer sometime soon! read more
