I admit that I was a little bit nervous when I first came into this place. I'm not from Woodlake…read moreand I didn't know what kind of reception I would get. I finally got up the nerve to go in with a friend of mine on a Saturday night and while it wasn't jam packed, there was a good number of people there singing and laughing, plus they were doing karaoke! Since that first time in there, I've been back quite a few times and I've noticed a few things. 1) No one is going to let you sit alone for very long. Someone is going to come up to you and greet you and engage you in a conversation. 2) The men and women who hang out in Smokey's are some of the most wonderful people, very friendly! 3) The bartenders are some of the most welcoming and friendly people I've ever met. 4) Great selection and prices for the beer! The atmosphere is so laid back and relaxed, it's very quickly becoming my favorite place to go spend a few hours after work to just chill out and relax. Plus the taco truck right next door has amazing food! Great company, great beer, and great access to food makes this place so wonderful. I've truly never met nicer, more friendly people than I have here. Don't judge it for it's appearance, get to know the people inside. I don't regret coming here every day, the people make it so easy!

A very nice watering hole replete with a few bikers or groups of locals and not too locals hanging around for a few cold ones together. The staff was pleasant and helpful and really wanted to make our stay enjoyable. No food is served, but barbecue is in the planning.although they switched out the O'doul's NA beer for the new NA on the block, I still give the place 4 stars. The return of O'doul's and the addition of a good bbq sander or two just might get it 5 Stars from me.

Could have been a reasonable interaction but the bartender, who we found out is the owner, came up to us said you can't bring a drink in here at all and hit the table with his fists. But did not go up to the others who had energy drinks, which weren't sold there... Another man got yelled out by the owner also for singing over him. Overall was a hostile and aggressive approach very unnecessary. Then he sat outside to smoke and talk to the other patrons about what happened lmao Definitely just a dive bar, I would not come back.

A dive bar if I've ever seen one. A small hole in the wall place that you can easily pass by if…read moreyou don't know what your looking for. It's a small brown building with a small parking lot next to it. It's nice though that its open at 0630 so that the nightshift hospital staff can come here and decompress or send me off on my last day. First thing you notice about this place is the smell of urine from the bathrooms. You get use to it after a bit. As well as the "regulars" hanging out at the bar area. It's extremely small. Area for a pool table, some tables at the far end by the bathrooms, and a long bar counter. At least the tvs are nice and clear and big to watch games or sports as need be. There was a good 18 of us here. Prices are rediculously cheap. I'm glad they understand it's a dive bar and should thus be dive bar prices. A michelada was $4. A mimosa was $5. Bag of chips was $1. They have these sour candy shots for $4. The sour candy shots were really good. Michelada was simple. Bloody Mary mix with beer. But they were well made. I also had a crown royal apple with redbull that was really good. I don't remember how many drinks we went thru but it did the job and we were all feeling good. Customer service is good. Dude working behind the bar worked fast. I hear this place is pretty good when the sun is up, but has a pretty rough reputation at night with lots of shady people coming in at night. I definitely wouldn't come in here by my self even in the day time. But with a large group it's pretty cool. Nice and cheap. If you don't mind the urine smell and dilapidated look.

They do have handicap accessible chairs to help access second floor. Going to be honest, a little hard to find, drove by it twice before we found it. Across the street, kinda diagonal from Tapyard. It's cozy and sophisticated! Great wine menu and the wine staff very knowledgeable. Some of the wines are a little pricey. They have a wine tasting ; with a pre select menu and a piece of chocolate for $28; or you can you can pick your own wine for a wine tasting and get 10 percent off. They might need to explain that a little better though; because each wine has a different tasting price; vary in price from $5 or so to $15 to even $20 or more for a tasting of one kind of wine , times that by 4, can end up quite expensive. Almost ends up like a tasting price like your in NAPA! Might be cheaper to just order a bottle or two!

The Stag isn't just a bar -- it's a living, breathing paradox wrapped in simplicity and nostalgia…read more A sanctuary for the sunburned and the soul-weary, sitting square in the heart of Exeter like a shrine to simpler sins. The sign, half invitation, half dare: Enter if you're thirsty for something that isn't on the menu of life. Inside, the air is thick with laughter, cheap perfume, and the musk of memory. The wood is old, the stools are crooked, and the light is low enough to make everyone look like the best version of themselves. You can feel the ghosts here -- drifters, dreamers, field hands, maybe even a few saints who took a wrong turn. They all linger in the hum of the jukebox. Ah, the jukebox -- electronic altar of heartbreak. It glows on the wall like an electric confession booth, playing Merle, Patsy, and Johnny for the price of a few credits and a little piece of your heart. Each song unfurls like a slow whiskey burn -- sweet, sad, and just a bit dangerous. For a few minutes, everyone in the room is part of the same melody, the same ache. And behind the bar -- the real magic. The women who run this joint aren't just bartenders; they're high priestesses of the pour, keepers of secrets, and therapists with better lighting. They don't just serve drinks -- they dispense absolution one glass at a time. They smile like they've seen it all and still find the world worth laughing at. Their pours are generous, their eyes sharp, and their patience mythological. The Stag isn't polished, and thank the gods for that. It's honest. It's human. It's the kind of place where time stretches, stories spill, and strangers become drinking buddies before the song ends. When you finally pull the door (real hard) and step into the cool Exeter night, the stars feel closer somehow. You can still hear the jukebox faintly -- one last chorus chasing you into the dark. And you know, deep down, that The Stag isn't just a bar. It's a reminder. A reminder that imperfection is beautiful, whiskey is holy, and that the best kind of truth usually comes from a woman with a towel over her shoulder and a grin that says, "Another round?"
