This is the place you go to when you're just looking for a fun place to relax, enjoy a drink or two, enjoy some wings or a burger, listen to some music, and appreciate an attentive and caring wait staff. I picked The Bucket because they're in an RV hospitality program, arriving at around dinner time. I was well served by Jordan who was lovely, friendly and didn't mind me taking this table for about four hours. It's just too hot outside and it's nice and cool inside. They weren't ever busy enough that they needed my table. The only point off is that there's only one table with a power outlet which didn't make a difference tonight. Beers were cold, the wings were perfect, and I had an absolutely perfect evening. [Review 747 of 2026 - 214 in West Virginia - 25928 overall]

I walked the short distance to check it out. I tried walking in, and was accosted by a punk asking for my id. I'm close to 60. I asked him if he were kidding, and he said no, he wasn't, with derision. I showed it to him, and then he said $5. I said no, and started to walk out, and he made some rude comment. All I wanted to do was get a drink, and check out the karaoke (if they even had it tonight). I didn't even know if I'd want to stay. I'll bet that clown runs off a lot of people.

As I walked through the door and the metal detector. (yes there is one.) I was greeted with a couple of snarky who is he? My first task was to ask if there was additional parking. There was none so I was forced to go back outside and park on the street as one of the five or six possible spots in their grand parking lot was not available. Then when I went back in, I realized there was no air-conditioning. (was there in July). This is not a dive bar. Not in any way shape or form; it's a trash bar. It's also not safe and worth the risk. Metal detector as a sign of safety? Since I just walked right on through it, and nobody was even monitoring it I would say nah , not so much. What really kills me. Is when you look at this place up it is advertised as a sports bar; first one I've ever seen with one TV. Dont get me wrong I actually like dive bars as long as they're relatively clean and somewhat of a safe area and maybe have more than three beers on tap. I'm picky that way ‍
