First off, I'm not a big bar patron. Why I gave them 5…read morestars. This place is calm. The staff is very friendly. There are 3 pool tables at $0.75 a game as a plus. They have the BEST Bloody Marys I've tasted outside of New Orleans. I'm not much on bars but this joint was fun from the get go. It's definitely a local joint but the atmosphere is very relaxed and not at all unfriendly. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Seems like a come as you are, but come respectful. I'll definitely return. Just as an FYI they do not take credit cards but do have an ATM machine handy.

This place is more bar than grill, but it's still fun! It is small. The exterior looks like a…read moretrailer. However, the interior has pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, and a jukebox. They also have WiFi on request. The menu selection is not soul food. It is an assortment of popular dishes that can typically be found in bars. The drink menu is non-existent, but the drinks are plenty. One can speculate that the hard working farmers and cowboys who might drop in simply don't need fruity drinks... Liquor is minimally mixed. I ordered jalapeno poppers and fried mushrooms. Both were tasty, especially with the ranch dressing provided. The staff appear friendly. The bartender was helpful, but she did not have a bubbly and chipper disposition. This was perfectly fine for me. Karaoke is Friday nights, but I visited on a Thursday. This night wasn't one of the extras, unfortunately. All in all, this place is one I intend to visit time and time again. I'm glad such a gem exists in such a remote region.

They had a very cool interior, with tap handles lining their walls and all sorts of neat antique items. Their seating options were limited but the table we sat at was very cool because of how it was made and had comics and such incorporated into the top of the tables. They sell beer from breweries but don't make their own, which was fine as they had some food craft beers on tap. Inside the lights were very dim but it added to the whole mood of the pub. The bartender was quiet but proficient at his job. A neat little place to stop and have a drink.
