It was 1/2 price burger night. I was not impressed with the service or the ability to make a mixed drink by the staff. I requested a Manhattan and was told that none knows how to make that. Then I received the wrong order, it was not the burger I ordered and the side of fries were not served. The place was not very busy, so I don't understand the confusion. While I was waiting, I decided to play the jukebox, but there was no music to be heard. When I asked the bartender, he said "OH" I need to turn the volume up, so I was out a dollar that I plugging in for a song. No refund, no "I'm Sorry" nothing. This place has gone to Hell and I won't be returning. It's a shame to lose what was a great neighborhood hangout. It's now just a place on the strip. I won't be returning....

How does a person describe Fraziers? It's like describing water or America. Both simple and super…read morecomplex. Fraziers is a Hampden institution. Do you wanna drink cheap beer? Play pool? Eat a cheesesteak? Mingle with literally everyone in the neighborhood all at once? Fraziers is your place. They are open all the time. Yes, even when there are12 inches of snow on the ground. That is actually the best time to come. You can watch a game here. You can dance on the Holiday Inn ballroom 1987 carpet here. You can chat with people you've passed 100 times on the street but never introduced yourself to. While the alcohol is cheap, especially for the neighborhood these days, the food is surprisingly good AF. This is a dive bar. Like a "think twice before using the bathroom" kind of dive bar (late at night). But the food is really good. Super solid cheesesteak and burger, awesome fries. The bartenders are great. They are not always friendly, but they are helpful, and will jam a pool stick up the pool table repeatedly and with great enthusiasm if you're missing a cue ball. If you haven't been here yet, you should come. You're not a Baltimoron yet if you haven't made at least one bad decision here.

To get to the bowling alley it is located on the 2nd floor in which the elevators will take you there. They bowled on 2 lanes and had a great time.

Will definitely return when in the area.

Seeing how they sanitize each part of shoes after use was pretty reassuring they care about cleanliness. Didn't grab any food this time. But the table next to us ordered loaded fries that looked pretty good!

You've gotta applaud them for the decorations: upon speaking with the bartender I found that the owner's wife and her friends spent FOUR days decorating the entire place - and you'll see it if you look around just how down with the details they got. Beyond the amazing decor, their drinks were pretty bomb. I got the mule and it was sweet with a kick (still easy to down as someone who's alcohol-averse). The bartenders are a hoot. One of them gave us his personal stickers (pictured). There's quite fun, 10/10 recommend. The only downside is that this place is often packed! Which I'm actually grateful for because it means business is good and people recognize how amazing this spot is. However if you're looking to get a for sure seat, maybe go earlier in the week rather than later.

Now that my beloved 'Cheers' (aka 'Brewers Art') is no more, it appears w/o even trying, that '29th…read moreStreet Tavern' has become my 'go to' spot. It's very much a 'local neighborhood bar'. There's no flash. There are no gimmicks. It's a local bar to go grab a drink and you're not in the mood for the trendy packed spots. It's very unassuming and great neutral space. Anyone can show up, any time. Everyone's welcomed. You can have a good convo w/o having to scream thru it. MASSIVE PLUS *smile*!!! From a musical perspective, all sorts of genres pump thru the system and the ability to make selections is much better than other bars, which is great. It's even better when your selections are getting other people to enjoy the music and their time there, as well. Always a crowd pleaser. Aside from a fully stocked bar, there's a great beer selection. I happen to LOVE ciders and there's always an excellent choice available. The bartenders are always welcoming and accommodating. People come to unwind and have a good time w/o any pretense. I really enjoy the Tavern for that reason.

The Chicken Parmesan sandwich I had last night was on point and my girlfriend had a very good chicken quesadilla as well. Prices are pretty reasonable. My only beef is with the service. The bar is a little "cliquey" from several observations. The regulars seem to get waited on immediately and a newcomer gets a "I'll be right with you". No placemats, no silverware, no napkins seems to be the norm. Had to ask for ketchup when my fries came out after getting chips by mistake. We will most likely go back though, especially since The Bird River Inn changed their whole menu and did away with most of our favorite menu items. Everything is smoked now and very salty. If you're looking for ambience, you may want to try somewhere else. The Dugout is a hole in the wall dive bar and has been for decades...just the way the regulars like it!

They have one pool table where APA league members usually play, a shuffle board, and a number of TVs for sports games (although they are not HD). I could tell this was a local go-to for many of the customers at this bar especially since they all seemed to know each other. Our bartender was very friendly with helping us decide what to order. We got the Belly Buster Fried Fish sub ($8.99), with a side of fries (an extra $2) and Italian Cold Cut ($9.50), with a side of chips (free), along with a Loose Cannon ($5.00) & Grapefruit Crush ($6.00). The subs were pretty good. The fried cod (I believe it was) was nice and crispy and the tartar sauce paired perfectly to cut the richness of the grease. The portion was definitely money's worth. The cold cuts in my sub were fresh. There was enough acid to not make the bread soggy. The grapefruit crush was very icy. I noticed the bartender made it by blending a grapefruit fruit cup with ice and some grapefruit-vodka. When I was done with my first drink, she poured the rest of the mixture from the blender into my glass, which I thought was very nice. All in all, dugout tavern is a hidden gem that has great food and service. There is also parking on site and outdoor seating.
