Ah, good old Cub and Spanks…read more.. Now I've only been coming here for the past couple of months, but they fulfill a couple of requirements I require in a bar. 1) cheap drinks. And I don't mean this place is the kind of establishment that serves drinks in red solo cups, they serve them in regular plastic tumbler cups, and they're not bottom shelf garbage liquids either. A Jameson and Ginger ale will set you back a whopping $4. I feel like I'm stealing from the bar when I drink here! This is a good thing. 2) conversational level of crowd noise. This place has never been so loud that I couldn't hear the person I was sitting with, granted, we haven't come here on a Friday or Saturday night, so consider that the asterisk. I prefer a place where u don't need a bullhorn to talk to someone 3 feet away. 3) shuffleboard table. This place will always have a special place in my heart since I popped my shuffleboard cherry here on September 30th after closing out Charter Fitness. However, they've since replaced the old board with a new-fangled board with the prison bars that come up in the middle to avoid free plays, and the table is but crooked. Not that I'm a cheapskate and try to play for free, but the sand gets stuck in the holes so when you start a game, you have to manually push the bars in in order to allow your pucks to slide freely from end to end. I know, I know, #firstworldproblems 3) jukebox. Since the beginning if time, man has attempted to push forth their culture on those around them, and this is the perfect way to do it. You can even control the jukebox from your phone! Well, your smartphone at least. I don't think your Motorola StarTAC is going to help you out here, nor will your Nokia 8200. 4) regulars. You will see the same people day in day out here, whatever day of the week. They may or may not remember that you had a conversation about whatever you had a conversation about, but they're friendly. Or you can chalk it up to this place being a townie bar, but I won't call it that. Come to Cubbies, sidle up to the bar, and maybe drop a buck on a game of shuffleboard or two. If I'm there, say hello and challenge me to a game. I might show you a thing or two. Or not. I've only been playing for a couple if months...

Some people are intimidated because people consider it a biker bar, but I don't ride a bike and don't ever intend to and I feel totally comfortable there. It's a casual bar with its usuals and a random array of people just hanging out. We love the bartender, too.

Has mostly drinks but there's also some typical bar food. The drinks are cheap and there's free popcorn. A lot of bikers around here. It turns out they like this place. There's always like a hundred Harleys in front, so just look for those and you can find this. Beer is cheap. Liquor is cheap too. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. Whatever and Coke pretty much. Food is what is expected. Pretty cheap stuff. Free popcorn is always available. There's also stuff like frozen pizzas if they aren't out of stuff. Better than it looks. It looks sketchy but it's okay. The crowd can be louder than the Harleys but there's usually no bar fights or those kinds of things.

Place seemed cool at first, until an angry 'regular' came in - cops had to be called. Gave bartender Val a cash tip, she complained that I didn't leave her anything. Would like my $12 tip back. Seriously. It's not a safe place. Farkis seemed nice though. I liked him.

The team that run the bar do a great job. Is it perfect? Nothing is, and I am not entitled to ask for it. It's an old place but at least it's clean. As far as this place has rampant drug abuse and fighting, that is total bullshit. But hey, what people what to do in their own vehicles is there own business :) Great place...not a dive/shady bar...just a local bar.

Ski's is one of the many sports bars in town and amazingly these all get full somehow. Get some cheap ass drinks. The food isn't anything impressive or worth getting most times. Bar that has a sports theme to it. It's like a little better than a dive bar apparently so it's better than it looks. This almost looks nice enough for it to be okay for a family lol kidding obviously. Has a few arcades and games. There's darts, which can be hazardous with the frat boys launching these. It's about $3 for the cheapest cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. It's about $3 for appetizers. There's things like cheese curds and the chips and salsa, but also pizza. Even though it looks crappy it's better than it looks to be honest. It's located on West State Street far from other bars and restaurants. This is a combination of locals mixing with the outsider college students.
