I've been wanting to check this place out for a couple of years, but I kept getting scared off. I…read moredon't know if it's the location (it shares a small building with a check cashing place in a run-down part of town), the heavily tinted windows, or what it is. But I kept getting a bad feeling and driving on. Finally, today, after 4 drive-bys working up the nerve, I parked and went inside. What I found was a nice little dive bar full of very friendly and polite people, and a very pleasant bartender. The wall behind the slightly-curved bar is plastered with yellowed old dollar bills. Three cafeteria-style tables provide overflow/group seating. Just beyond the pool table was a buffet table with several simmering crock pots. The remainder of the small, smoky space is occupied by a juke box and a couple of video poker machines. I heard that they sometimes have a band in, though the space is so small I can't possibly imagine where they would set up.

And as a beard grower I certainly appreciate the best beard I have seen in my life and travels right there behind the bar standing about 6ft 3in off the floor on a bartender named Pat.
