Our bartender told us that she couldn't remember the name of the one in the middle but that the other one was named "Hotel California". She said that only one of the three bars ever seems to be in business at any given time, and that she has worked at each of them. Chevy's is basically what you'd expect from the only dive bar in a rural town. Domestic beers, stiff drinks, and your basic bar food/snacks. Our bartender was pretty cool and made the visit enjoyable.

The "manager" kicked me out of the bar for life because she assumed the hand rolled tobacco was cdb. I was spending $400 a week in th.e bar.

I went in the next day and the same female bartender told me its under same management and kicked me out forever... Good luck to the new owner. My $400 a week certainly would help you stay open.

The Traphouse is a hard place to find. You can circle around the entire block and not find it…read more The trick is to realize that it is not actually located on any street, it is instead located in the dead center of the block and hidden by trees and buildings on all sides. So when you see that gravel alleyway that looks the the driveway of a mobile home, that's where you need to turn in. Inside is a big open area with a square-shaped bar in the center. The walls are covered in hundreds of photos of the bar's loyal patrons. The bartender lamented to me about how the bar business is really hurting in Chillicothe because so many of the town's young people have been moving away. "We have really low overhead, though, so we'll be fine," she added. She's probably right. Most of the other bars in town have either recently closed or changed hands. But the Traphouse has been going strong for years. A big part of that is that of those that have survived, it's the most "real".

If these walls could talk, they'd probably have some wild stories--and they'd all pair perfectly with a cold draft beer and great drinks Like stepping into a place where everybody either knows your name or pretends to because they're just that friendly.

Our bartender was a nice older lady who gave us good tips on other places to visit in the area. Though it's very dark on the inside, it looks nicer than you'd expect given the nondescript exterior.

They have the BEST Bloody Marys I've tasted outside of New Orleans. I'm not much on bars but this joint was fun from the get go. It's definitely a local joint but the atmosphere is very relaxed and not at all unfriendly. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Seems like a come as you are, but come respectful. I'll definitely return. Just as an FYI they do not take credit cards but do have an ATM machine handy.

They also have WiFi on request. The menu selection is not soul food. It is an assortment of popular dishes that can typically be found in bars. The drink menu is non-existent, but the drinks are plenty. One can speculate that the hard working farmers and cowboys who might drop in simply don't need fruity drinks... Liquor is minimally mixed. I ordered jalapeno poppers and fried mushrooms. Both were tasty, especially with the ranch dressing provided. The staff appear friendly. The bartender was helpful, but she did not have a bubbly and chipper disposition. This was perfectly fine for me. Karaoke is Friday nights, but I visited on a Thursday. This night wasn't one of the extras, unfortunately. All in all, this place is one I intend to visit time and time again. I'm glad such a gem exists in such a remote region.
