    Silly Feminine Energy
    Stacey H.

    Made me feel like a local! If you are trying to find fun places to go out in Broken Bow/Hochatown, the internet often is not much help. I found scant information online about the Watering Hole, but something about what I was able to see made it seem like a place we wanted to go. I mentioned it to staff at some of the places around town and was told the same thing over and over "it's really a local's bar.". This was usually followed by a compliment like "it's great", but I wasn't sure what was meant by the first part. I remained stubbornly committed to checking it out. I was visiting Broken Bow as a group of three ladies celebrating a birthday. We were looking for a place to kick off a Saturday night that would definitely end with some dancing. We were appropriately, if not slightly ridiculously, wearing matching fringe jackets and hyped for our fun evening. When we pulled up at the Watering Hole, we could see inside the whole place. Less than 10 patrons were inside, about 90% were guys. Real guys guys, ranging in age from 45 to 65 and we had a moment of trepidation about how our silly feminine energy would be received. Any nerves we had shook right out of our fringe after we went inside. We were greeted warmly by a few of the patrons, who came over and inquired about our outfits. The curiosity came from a nice place and they kindly wished our birthday girl a happy birthday. We were even gifted a beverage called The Sasquatch. Bright yellow, deadly strong and banana flavored, we split it amongst the three of us and enjoyed it to the last drop. Grant was bartending and chatting with him was a highlight of our entire evening. He was interested and interesting and clearly a skilled barman. He shared insights to the local are humored our music selection before wishin and sending us on to scoot our boots. This is a perfect local's bar, and we were welcomed like locals. Every town should have a Watering Hole.

    Nice little dive bar! The pulled pork was melt in your mouth from next door. The bar tender, Kelsey, was very friendly and welcoming.

    We went to Hochatown Saloon on a Monday around noon for lunch. It was pretty quiet, so we were…read moreseated right away with no wait. Right off the bat, their draft beer machine wasn't working, so we stuck with water and a soda. After being seated, there was a noticeable delay before our waitress came back. She explained she was dealing with an issue on another customer's credit card, which slowed things down. We started with the fried pickles. They were very good. Crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked right, but the portion felt a little light for an appetizer. For the main, we shared the Oklahoma country fried steak with mashed potatoes and white gravy. That was the highlight. The steak had a solid crust with good flavor, and everything on the plate was done right. No complaints there. Overall, the food was strong, especially the country fried steak, but the service and the draft beer situation held it back some. If they tighten that up, it'd be a much better experience.

    Jackie was amazing when above and beyond with a group of nine girls that we came down for Wichita…read moreKansas. She served us with a beautiful smile and was just amazing so enjoying her her personality definitely made us all very comfortable and everybody in the group loved her She took the time to go outside and take her pictures for the group so that is very impressive. Thank you Jackie for an amazing job.!!!

We were pleasantly surprised at the food! It was DELICIOUS! my gkid said this is probably the best chicken strips and bowling food I have ever had and we agreed. We all three got different things and it was all great! I pointed to some men that had come in from work on their lunch break just to eat. I told my gkid, see they know this hidden secret about the food here. They are just here for lunch not any of the games. They have TV in dining area for sports. They have and arcade and bowling and pool tables. We ended up playing pool with the gkid showing him how to play. We had a blast.

After 8 it was busy and the tables were full of singers and their friends and family. This timeframe would make an excellent location for a teens bday. The kids seem to have a blast. The adult beverages were reasonably priced. They had bowling, an arcade, pool tables and a big covered patio area. Go!
