We knew we were going to love this place when a neighbor came out to distract his pit bull as we walked by. And when we stepped in to head the bartender explaining to a couple of other customers how terrified she is of clowns, we somehow knew we were going to have more fun here than we'd had all day. It turned out that bartender's name was Becky, and she's 1/2 of the couple who owns the bar. The other half is her husband, Waylan, who showed up later at the end of our visit. "Having a name like Waylan is like having the biggest cock," she said. Or maybe it was B who said that, I don't remember and my notes aren't very clear. :) There is quite a collection of bras on the bar, a recent development. "A while back one of the customers just up and took her bra off, and said she wanted to hang it up. So we did. Then other ladies started doing it," Becky explained. "Now boxer shorts have even started to join the collection." We ended up spending out entire visit chatting with the bartender about their history with the bar. We really enjoyed our time here. In addition to the great personalities, this is a fun-looking bar all around and I'de love to visit again when it's busier. In fact, here's how good a time we had -- when we first arrived we noticed the Silver Strike machine and put a few dollars in it to play. But we never got around to actually doing so! :)

I think I would come back here again.

The drinks were pretty cheap, even considering you don't get a whole lot in each cup. For almost four hours, my friend and I ordered drinks and played video games, swapping between the SNES and N64. It was SO fun playing those retro games. We both had a blast and wish there was something like this in the Omaha area. We would definitely come back here again!

The space is welcoming and cozy, though I hear they may be going under some renovations in the near future which I'm sure will only add to how wonderful this spot already is. The drinks are reasonably priced and it's near several yummy restaurants. The sound was fantastic -- I was actually impressed with how much oomph came out of the back room where they hold shows. Looking back over other reviews for this spot, well, they have ANOTHER new owner as of this week, so I have to imagine it only gets better from here. I can't wait to see what it's like moving forward!

Hello there. I enjoyed my visit here at the First Ward House. The wings here were recommended to…read moreme by another local business in downtown Saint Joseph. It was a good recommendation of some flavorful smoked wings. The place itself presented a cool atmosphere with an inside corner bar or sports bar vibe and a big patio with options to turn into a backyard bbq, sports party or chill hangout. Very cool versatility. The service was very typical of the friendly, chill vibe of the Midwest area. This place (and it's cat) makes happiness.

I don't know if they were nervous about us or what it was, the first few moments were tense. But then a little dog named Rosie walked up to greet us, and after we petted her the ice was broken and we were welcomed into the fold. :) We soon learned that Rosie had a special talent, she liked to sit on the shoulders of a guy named Mike while he shot pool. Mike happened to be sitting nearby, so B challenged him to a round. And they weren't kidding, that little dog happily climbed up on his shoulders and sat there through the whole game! It's quirky little finds like this that make me love going to these off-the-beaten-path dive bars. You never know just what to expect!
