Ray's Corner 1977- 1980 Great bar, quite, no women, maybe…read moreone or two on occasion, I think I took my wife there. Opened early 8 or so in the morning. Right behind the bar was the magazine rack. You did not have to leave your stool to retrieve a questionable magazine. Early in the morning there was a older man sitting by the front window reading the newspaper. Usually the news paper was upside down. Another older couple frequented the place and were known as Mr and Mrs America. Our group included Ivan Stotz, Dick Hessey, Jamie Liable, Dave Maegar and myself, Doug Mofle. Only one bathroom at that time and I remember finding a deer head in the sink.. We usually pulled in about 3 in the afternoon. Love the Bar Doug Mofle

I had one of the most frustrating dining experiences I've ever had at Cubby's Sports Bar and Grill…read more We came in expecting a casual meal and ended up waiting an absurd amount of time just to get our food. After placing our order, we sat there for what felt like forever with no updates, no explanation, and no sense that anyone was paying attention. What made it worse was watching other tables--who arrived after us--get served before we did. It honestly felt like we were forgotten. When the food finally came out, it didn't even feel worth the wait. By that point, the whole experience was just disappointing and irritating. If you're planning to eat here, be prepared to wait... and wait... and then wait some more. There are plenty of other places that actually respect your time. I won't be coming back.

The mood here is always super chill. You never have to worry about having to listen to that latest Rihanna single that's driving you crazy or watching a group of underaged girls having a catfight. You're safe from all that BS as soon as you step into Jim's...just avoid the occasional creepers sitting at the bar! Cash only. There's an ATM inside. One of the signature drinks is called the "Backpacker." You can get it by the pitcher and save some dough. I've tasted it and it's surprisingly delicious (despite the florescent green hue), but I never order it anymore because it's made with Mountain Dew and gives me gut rot. :) If your stomach can handle some soda, try this drink! It's kind of a "local delicacy." I believe they make it in different flavors now, but I have not personally seen or tasted this.

If you're in Brookings and looking for a place to drink, perhaps you should consider Jim's Tap…read more Based on the name, I thought we were going to a bit of a sports bar. When we walked into the place, I quickly realized my assessment was wrong. Jim's Tap is a Medieval-themed bar at least in the decor. It was sort of like being in an episode of "Game of Thrones" only with no blood or boinking or that punk Joffrey. I wish Joffrey was there. I would kick him in the nuts and then punch him in the face. And then start yelling: "Who's on top and who's on bottom now!?" But I digress ... No servers were dressed in any sort of steward or beer wench costume, but credit is not accepted. Don't worry. You don't have to pay in gold or silver, but you do need to pay with American cash. The walls are decorated with swords. The place also is dimly lit. The tables and chairs aren't so much Medieval though ... they're more like old school lounge bar ... the chairs are comfy. I went here twice while visiting Brookings. The first time our host purchased a pitcher of a green concoction and a pinkish drink. The green was some melon mixed drink. The pinkish colored one was called, I believe, an Apple Packer. Both tasted like Sweet Tarts mixed with Pixie Stix. Not really my thing, but I guess it's nice to have the option. The second time, I had a beer. It was Monty Python's Holy Grail on tap. This is not the best beer, but it's nice to see they tried to have the bar theme incorporated into the beer list. Both nights we sat outside. It was a little chilly, but not bad in part because there is a great fire place on the patio. If you are doing hardcore parcore though, be careful of the grill. One person in our group accidentally knocked the lid off of the grill while doing hardcore parcore. We received a finger wag over it, but the server seemed to understand it was an accident. In summary, get cash. Go to Jim's. Drink. And drink some outside by fire.
