This place is definitely a contender for the title of most run-down exterior of any bar I have…read morevisited! When we arrived, the place had just opened for the evening and we were the first customers. They were waiting for a DJ to arrive and expecting a big crowd later. The bartender and the other employee there were pretty nice and chatted with us about our visit to Ohio. This is a rather old building, but I liked the way they put in a modern ceiling without completely hiding the 100+ year old original ceiling. While this place is easy to find, it's tricky to figure out how to get to. Your best bet is to park in the paved lot at the SW corner of 1st & Canal and then walk down the alley (Scheilder St.) around to the front of the building.

I sought this place out specifically because of an online review I found that made this out to be…read morethe absolute worst bar in town. Because part of me enjoys seeing a bar that's really that bad, but mostly because 9 times out of 10 the bar turns out to actually be perfectly fine and the reviewer is in fact one of those uptight snobbish types who wants everything clean, pristine, and high-dollar. That's the way it turned out to be with Tony's... there's nothing wrong with this place at all. The front part of Tony's very much resembles a 1950s style diner, down to the booths, the bar stools, and the photos on the walls. The back room has pool tables and is occasionally used for bands. The selection of beer on tap, while limited, is more varied than most dive bars. There's an oddly placed mirror in the men's room that, while using the urinal, I noticed gives you a view out into the seating area. Which means people in that spot in the seating area also have a view of you. Hopefully this is accidental and not by design. :). Be careful with parking, you WILL get towed if you park in the lot across the street. I had to parallel park in a residential area a couple of blocks to the east.

Dew Drop Inn is a classic dive bar. It's what one should look like. This is what one should smell…read morelike. It has the colorful clientele. Then there's cheap beer and whiskey. From the outside it looks abandoned. No clear signage or anything. Rest assured they are open. It doesn't look much better inside. There's a few TVs but otherwise there wasn't much going on. It was a late night on the weekend, and there was plenty of room at the bar. The drinks are amazingly cheap, and strong. I had a Jim Beam and Coke. This was only $3 and it was a good pour. An encouraging thing is the sign about not tolerating racist stuff in the bar. It seems like a diverse crowd. It's nice to know not everyone is backwards around there.
