I remember there being a blonde older bartender there that was cute but still stuck in 1984. The old owner (I hear they just changed) was always there and was really cool, popped us a few freebies every once in a while. Never tried the food. They do have that old school bowling game there which was fun. Big beers were like $2 which was always a nice surprise. I still would keep driving if this is your only option. Sorry.

Inside there's the main bar area, but also a side private room. The best deal is the $2 22 oz. bud lites, which is as good of a deal as I've seen in any bar. I was in from out of town visiting friends who live near by, and this is their favorite bar and they took us here, and I'm glad they did, cool vibes, they let us bring food in, we ended up staying for several hours. If I lived in Lakewood I'm sure I would frequent this place as well.

We had so much fun here this past weekend and took advantage of all the games and drink specials. The Moscow mule was really good and so cheap. On top of all that, our bartender was so sweet and very friendly. There were only A few other people in the bar so it was as if we had the whole place to ourselves. It's in a very random location in between Nature's Bin grocery store and the Dollar Tree. An entire parking lot for parking which is nice. When you first walk in you would probably think, "what a dive" but it's actually very nice and clean inside. I highly recommend checking it out because they have a lot to offer. And who doesn't love shuffle board?!? 5 stars hands down. My new favorite pub :)

I'm unsure of his name but the bouncer was moving through the crowd in normal clothing and grabbed me by the waist with both hands saying "excuse me ma'm". all I said was "please don't touch me". He immediately turned and yelled at me and pushed me outside saying that I'm kicked out and banned from the bar for life. He was slurring his words and had no reason to make physical contact with me. All I said was this I wasn't comfortable with someone touching me and then he proceeded to yell at me saying that me saying "don't touch me" is "accusing him of sexual assault" and that's "disrespectful to men". The door man did witness this interaction and did nothing to intervene with this man's drunken actions.

The 'regulars' did take a little time to warm up to strangers intruding into their 'safe-haven' but after a round of shots and couple beers, we were just a couple of strangers that had the same end in sight, to drink as much as we can while last call quickly approached. I admit, I did avoid Dak's only because it did seem like a territorial type bar, but today I feel much better for checking in and seeing what this locals pub had to offer.

There was a huge airbrushed lifesize Popeye near the front door. Very dark and dank, the ultimate dive bar. This place is within walking distance of my parents house and my friends and I were here all of the time - especially after we realized they would never card us. (I'm not sure if they still engage in this practice - obviously they've changed hands in the past 12 years). I have many fond memories of this bar. I once woke up on the dirty bathroom floor after one too many shots of tequila - thanks to the DeMarco's donuts guy. Too bad the old owner started blowing lines of OxyContin.

Great bar and great staff. Its a divebar filled with hardworking americans so hipsters beware.read more
