Some beers on tap. Some in bottles. Some hard liquor on the small bar wall. Servers with fun attitudes. Locals hanging out. This take it or leave it place is kind of nice as we don't have to go far to get a drink from the hotel.
After checking into the Blackfoot Hotel, I walked from the west wing and right into the pub.
Took a seat at the end of a small bar and looked around. Lots of locals hanging out, some shooting pool (they have 4 tables and a floozball) but mostly playing the VLT (video lottery terminal - pretty big here it seems).
Was hungry and thirsty. They have a bunch of food and drinks on special. Ordered my pub grub and a few beers.
Conversation with the staff was fun. There were less than friendly patrons who didn't like the only Asian guy in the pub monopolizing the local talent. I'm was there to have some fun and relax - it was a 14 hour day. If the "good ol'boys" take exception to my jovial nature - tough crap for them.
The food is pub-food. Lots of grease and flavour - normally hot sauce and more hot sauce. Toss in generous pours of alCOOL and all is fine and dandy. If you would like the pub atmosphere but would like better food, you could ask really nicely to see if they can allow you to order the hotel restaurant food.
All in all, minus the locals attitude, this is a good place to unwind.
