Kind of divey but cleaner inside. The prices are pretty cheap mostly. Basic looking bar. It's actually bigger than it appears from the outside. There's enough room for big groups and parties. Has basically just lots of drinks. There's some beers on tap and lots more in bottles and cans, so great variety. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. There's a pretty okay choice of liquors. Has no food menu basically. They may have those frozen pizzas. For sure it's better than expected. It's located on Washington Street at Jefferson. This is mostly chill except when there's games or music on they have a few times.

We both got burgers, Hawaiian and Southwest, and both were very big burgers and I got fries and she got onion rings. Everything was great and cooked just how we wanted. If you're going in for dinner before going to the theater/show they have a different menu (to make sure everyone gets dinner and makes it out in time for the show) but even that menu sounded great from what Sergio was telling us. Would highly recommend and we'll be back.

This happened to be one of the better times. We were sat in their back dining room section and our we server was amazing. Friendly and on top of things. Their gyro sandwich and fries were super delicious. The gyro meat was tender and the sauce was bold and flavorful. There weren't many people out so maybe thats why we had a good time. This place can get pretty packed.

The Taproom has a few things on tap but ironically most of it's in bottles and cans to be honest. Also there's food. You can get more than just the usual greasy fried things. Came in and it wasn't that crowded. It's got the bar and a few tables, and these happened to be enough. The atmosphere is pretty chill except for some crazy regulars. A few TVs so it's good for watching games. It's about $5 a pint. Figured we should get something on tap since it's in the name. They have Yuengling among others. It's about $8 for a burger and side, and they have a Beyond Burger. They seasoned the hell out of it, so while you get salt you won't get any meat. Has plenty of beers and a pretty okay amount of choices to eat. It's got a happy hour. They're open later on Fridays and Saturdays.

The service might be slow but it's friendly usually. Came in and got seats at the bar. It's a place that's been around awhile and looks like it. The bar from the outside appears it might be closed up. For sure though. it isn't. It's about $6 for basic cocktails, whiskey or whatever. Has no food except chips. They let people bring in stuff. Has some rough old school charm. It's located on Greenwood at Hickory. This is great for watching games or whatever.

On our most recent visit the owner of the place, was behind the bar and she told us a bit about its twenty eight year history. She and her now deceased husband bought the place and named it "La Opera" after his favorite bar in Mexico. He passed away about ten years after buying the place and she has been running for eighteen years since. She decided to keep the name because it was important to him. Cheap beer, no food. Friendly bartenders. A very mixed patronage.
