    a pool table and bar

    Found this great local place while exploring the mountain roadways. We had to come back the next week to enjoy some karaoke . Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Warm classic bar vibe, and great drinks. Thank you Tara for being so fun to visit with, and your mad drink slinging skills. Thank you to the KJ and the Frazier folks for a taking us in and sharing an outstanding night.

    I love finding authentic small-town places like this. Cool stone building dates from 1925. There really is a Sue; she's owned it for 17 years. She was friendly and there were sociable locals hanging out, and a nice, helpful staff, as well. COVID update as if September 2020: They're serving simple, inexpensive (like, $7) meals to legally stay open, out back on their dirt "patio." Ribs was the meal of the day but they made me a vegetarian version with coleslaw, potato salad, and some fettuccine. Not gourmet by any means, but I felt fed and cared-for, and enjoyed my visit. I'd like to come back when things normalize and we can go into the old-time interior (now it's just a peek when you use the bathroom).

    Good watering hole for the area. Bartender was super nice. Definitely a local bar, so don't ruin it for the regs and respect the vibe.

    Clean fun and good hearty locals. Bartender was full of energy and locals play pool. Good local bar for good warm, hearty laughs and fun.
