I came in to enjoy some live music with a couple of amazing local bands, and I am absolutely sold. Highlights include: tons of street parking nearby, superior selection of drinks (more on this later), and awesome people. Everyone, from the folks behind the bar to the other patrons, was ultra welcoming. I'm pretty sure this is the neighborhood Cheers. Seriously--amazing vibes, and it's great for solo people. (I realize that might be ambiguous, so what I mean by "great for solo people" is that you won't feel uncomfortable coming here alone. It's easy to chat with people if you want to; it's easy to just enjoy the music if you want to.) Okay, I know you want to hear about the drinks. They have a great selection of beer on tap. They have tons of cocktails, including a selection of barrel-finished cocktails. Not drinking tonight? They have plenty of THC and even a CBD-only option (winning!), along with some non-altering choices that include switchel(!). There's a huge outdoor patio with fire pits that I will probably check out next time. Anyway, this is a great spot!

The inside of the bar is pretty small and felt a bit cramped, especially with how busy it was on a Sunday. They do have a back patio that is fairly large, which I appreciated, but during the day it did not feel very inviting. Without lighting or much going on, it came off a bit plain. As for drinks, I tried a non alcoholic half and half with lemonade and iced tea, which I actually really liked. I also had a mojito style cocktail that was not my favorite and tasted a bit too strong for me. The overall vibe just was not really my thing, but I could see it being more fun at night or with a bigger group.

The Spot is the place for you. I'm from NJ visiting my sister who lives two blocks away. Her boyfriend brought me and a few other out-of-towners here on a Sunday night, and we all loved it. I rocked up to the bar in an Eagles sweatshirt and NJ accent fully expecting to get flak for it, but the bartender was as nice as ever. Later in the evening when we were the last patrons left, he asked us where we were all from and struck up a conversation with us. Bonus for movie buffs: the 2023 movie "Downtown Owl" with Ed Harris filmed a scene here. Great atmosphere, great customer service, great drinks, great music. Can't wait to come back the next time I visit my sister.

Once we walked into the bar we could tell immediately this was a local dive bar for the surrounding area. To paint a picture most of the people who were at the bar at 3pm on a Sunday were an older crowd (50+), one lady was wearing a shirt which was dress-length with a cat plastered on the front, and in the corner, to my delight, there were various arcade games which cost $1 to play. I'd definitely recommend this bar if you're looking to escape the surrounding summer heat after a wedding and get $3 beers. The bar offers cheap beers on tap and arcade games in the corner which you can entertain yourself with. There's a jukebox which also doubles as a free photo booth (we may or may not have taken multiple free photos). Since we were a wedding party of men in suits and women in cocktail dresses we definitely got a lot of side eye from the local crowd (also probably due to our poor decisions to play a few Nickelback songs on the jukebox) but since we were in a large group we had a blast!

I've stopped in a couple of times, and each visit had its own kind of fun. The crowd can get a little wild, but in a way that fits the atmosphere rather than overwhelms it. Yeah, the spot leans toward the scruffy side, and it's definitely not trying to impress anyone with fancy décor, but that's part of its charm. Its the kind of bar where you can relax, stay out of your own head for a bit, and just enjoy the moment without anyone judging you for it. Its not perfect some elements feel rough around the edges but overall, it delivers a solid, unpretentious night out. Id come back when I'm in the mood for something straightforward and low-key.
