Can a dive bar be cute? If so, The Lounge is a cute dive bar…read more It is simply decorated, compact in size and a welcoming atmosphere. I discovered, The Lounge because I arrived super early for a wine tasting at another business in the plaza. My friend and I were immediately won over, when we saw the bar dog. Her name is, Lucy. I liked that the front window is tinted so you cannot see in, but once inside you can clearly see the outside. If you like to play slots while you sip your inexpensive cocktail, The Lounge has about 4 or 6 machines for you to play. If you do, good luck. Best of all, the drinks are super affordable aka "cheap". The bartender was friendly to us being newcomers. Seeing the rest of the patrons at the bar and every stool was full, you could tell they were regulars at this neighborhood watering hole. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd definitely stop by for a cocktail.

I happened on this spot when visiting a shop in the same shopping plaza. This has to be one of the…read morecleanest dive bars I've ever been in. There is a generously sized bar and with a few high top tables along the side wall. There are several slot machines if you're interested in trying your luck! The bar offers your standard fare of beer, wine, mixed drinks and shots. They offer a few prepackaged snacks including chips and nuts. We were able to order a small pizza. They offer the Dog Town frozen pizzas. These are among my favorite pizzas. And it paired well with the ice cold beer. Our bartender was friendly and made sure we were taken care of.

You can order from the bar for beers/the counter for food OR you can use the QR code. Both are incredibly fast. Like had our food under 10 minutes which was awesome. Bar has something for everyone - some great beers, cocktails, and wine. Peacemaker was good as always. I always upgrade to fries then regret it because their chips are bomb. The only complaint here is the amount of meat/seafood they put on their sandwiches - it's like bread with a few shrimp. For the price you're paying (almost $20 an entree), I feel like you should be getting a little more meat. But at least it's good. I got a burger this time and the patties were seasoned super well and honestly very, very good. Such a cool spot, especially on a nice day. Great spot for beers and hanging out with friends.

The inside was decorated from top to bottom. They had a handful of holiday cocktails to choose from. I ordered the midnight Noel- their twist on a typical old fashioned. I also ordered their shrimp po boy. The shrimp was fried to perfection and the sauce to go in the sandwich was delightful. You can order drinks at the bar or using their QR code. They have a separate QR code for the food from Peacemaker. Overall I enjoyed me experience and look forward to coming back even after the holiday pop up is over.

We visited The Fireplace Bar for Friday night karaoke. This is a dive bar, in a good way. There are…read morepool tables and darts. It was very loud when we visited, not because of the karaoke, so it was a bit difficult to speak with the bartenders. I guess people were having a good time! There are lots of drink choices at reasonable prices. There is also food, which I didn't try. For the karaoke, you go up to the KJ get into the queue, and then add your songs across the evening for each of your turns. There was quite a variety being sung. You sing in front of the fireplace. There is a little bit of room to dance around the edges but not much. Despite being a "nonsmoking" bar, there were patrons vaping indoors and there was a cigarette smell inside (perhaps wafting in from the smokers outside?). The ladies bathroom was very clean. There is free parking outside in their attached lot, but you might have to get creative if you get there later in the night, as the lot gets crowded. This bar has a fun vibe for your friend group to go blow off some steam, but probably not a good place to take a first date.

Walk in and there are plenty of tables, a couple of gathering areas, standing room narrow tables, an outdoor area, and a room off to the side. I went for the Logboat Dark Matter which I have had before in a can and wanted to try on draft. I enjoyed it very much. You know what is great?! Since they don't have food, you can bring it in yourself. Both times our group has met up here Katie's Pizza is the choice and its in the same parking lot. You can't go wrong with Katie's. Bartender is on the ball and friendly, TV's all around, not too loud so you can talk. Wednesday nights they have Trivia and I stayed for the first round, it was very current for the current event category. Get a pizza from Katie's, go here, have a beer, have fun!

We walked in and my friend who is 21 (and has a valid MO ID) went to the bar and asked for 2 shots. he was told that they don't serve people with vertical IDs and that this was NOT a dive bar... I then asked for 2 shots and handed the alleged "owner" who was bartending, my valid Military ID and was told that they don't serve out of state IDs. i told her that i am in the military and this is not a out of state ID and was very loudly told "WE DON'T SERVE THE MILITARY." We started walking out she told us to "GET THE F*CK OUT." Its a shame they lost all of our business for good after this extremely unprofessional unwarranted experience. I DO NOT recommend this bar if you are a military member, a valid divers license holder, or to anyone who doesn't want to get yelled at for trying to support a local business and have a good time. They need to get rid of that "owner" who was bartending. She is losing this establishment business and tarnishing the name of the bar.

I chose this place because of recommendations from friends for it being accessibility friendly which I can confirm. One of my interns utilizes a wheelchair and the inside was very easy for him to navigate, their staff more often than not opens the door for you which was an appreciated convenience, and the restrooms have transfer bars which are very helpful. I also appreciate how it is a low-stimulation atmosphere, the lights are dimmed but not to the park of struggling to see and the music wasn't blasting. The staff were very kind, attentive, and accommodated to our needs! Only complaint is the food was a bit too salty which is a criticism I rarely have. Maybe it was the combo of the mac and cheese + French fries? Well seasoned to overly salty is a slippery slope. For the price I'd say it's a pretty decent value, I'd consider stopping by again!

Before discussing the food, let's talk about what's most important, and that's our waitress Eve. Our table of four had many questions regarding food as well as wine, and Eve had thoughts and recommendations for everything. It was a pleasant change from other servers when Eve had some recs for things that weren't the most expensive items on the menu (we've all experienced the servers who only recommend the top dollar plates). Eve listened carefully to what we wanted and had appropriate and mindful suggestions. Eve knew all about the wines and helped us pair properly per plate. The rest of the staff that crossed paths with our table were kind and helpful as well. As for the food... the Truffle Agnolotti was as to die for! Omg. Amazing. Full of flavor yet not heavy. It was the star of the table. Lastly, we were impressed with the selection of appropriately priced wines by the glass.

My wife had the Shrimp Scampi. Huge shrimp (at least U10) and huge flavor. Couldn't have had a better experience. Will be going back soon. By the way, our companions noted how packed it was for a week night. It's that way for a reason... great food, excellent drinks, attentive service, and a wonderful atmosphere.
