What's not to love about 33? It's everything you could ever want in a dive bar…read more The bartenders are all extremely friendly and accommodating, the live music is great, the pool table is (mostly) level and typically uncrowded. You can also put quarters for the table on your tab if you don't have cash, which a lot of places won't do for you (the table is free some nights too!). I don't believe they serve food, but the beer and liquor is very reasonably priced and hits the spot every time.

Wings and drinks…read more Good wings, and a reasonably priced burger which I found very flavorful and tender. Not the largest you will find, but a great deal..The fish and chips is also good on Fri. Some other good sandwiches available as well. No frills. Too many decorations hanging off everything are annoying.. . You will be in for a treat if you eat at the bar and Michael is working. He's the best and has a cult-like following. Thanks

Toxicity reports don't lie.

On nights when it's a bit quieter a lot of times that I've been there bartenders on staff will start conversations and come up with random trivia or things to do that will include everyone at the bar and generally begin a group conversation which always leads to people meeting one another and having a lot of fun. I've never had a bad time when I've chosen to go in there. And while you're there do yourself a favor and get a shot of the in-house apple pie moonshine. It is a must-have.

It was a little sketch which gave it some personality. The new spot is boring, might be better suited for restaurant rather than a bar. I never felt the old spot was "cliquey" but the new one is.. we struck up many conversations at the old spot but the new one everyone just looks down at their phones unless you're in the clique that sits against the back of the bar. The bartender is a pleasant guy but not overly social if he doesn't know you well. Disappointing.

I'll start by saying that my expectations were pretty low heading in, based on the reviews. This is…read morevery much your standard local dive bar--and I mean that in the most straightforward way possible. You're not coming here for a standout meal or craft cocktails. You're coming here because it's open late, has cold drinks, and it's probably close by. In my case, it was conveniently located near our Airbnb, and with limited late-night dining options in the area, I ended up eating here two nights in a row--strictly out of convenience. Both nights I had the Clam Strip Roll. It's fine. Not great, not terrible. Just... fine. On the first night, I made the mistake of ordering the French fries, which came with an extra charge. They were underwhelming--small portion, cold, and not seasoned. Definitely not worth the upcharge or the calories. The second night I opted for the default chips instead. Still not great, but at least they didn't cost extra. My friend had the BLT on night one--nothing offensive about it, but nothing to write home about either. The toast was uneven, and the onion rings (also an upcharge) were a letdown: soggy and bland. On the second night, they went with the Works Burger and a side salad. Again, both were just average. The burger checked the usual boxes, and the salad was basic but fresh enough. In short, the food does the job, but it's not going to be a highlight of your trip. Drinks were a brighter spot--cold and reasonably priced, which is really all you can ask for in a place like this. The atmosphere? Exactly what you'd expect from a small-town dive bar. There are a few pool tables, TVs mounted on the walls playing sports, and music that leaned into classic rock and barroom standards. It's unpretentious and low-key--probably the kind of place where regulars sit at the same bar stools every night. Service was solid. Orders were taken quickly, drinks arrived fast, and needs were met with minimal fuss. Nothing over the top in terms of attentiveness, but nothing lacking either. It's the kind of service that keeps the gears moving without drawing attention to itself. Overall, Lyme Tavern is a functional, no-frills stop. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit, but in a pinch--especially if it's late and you're nearby--it'll do.

It's not easy being a woman and being by yourself but Erin the bartender made me feel welcome right away. My battery almost died and she went above and beyond by lending me her personal charger. I was grateful due to the fact that my phone was dying. She handled the bar with ease. Most people seemed to know each other and were very pleasant. I saw a couple pool tables to the side. Keno was playing but I'm not sure what else they offered. TV's were on playing sports and the enthusiast were really enjoying the game. I had already eaten so I can't tell you about the food but from what I saw it looked delicious If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop in and hopefully it's Erin's shift.
