I grew up literally right around the corner from here back in the 60's and early 70's. This was my Dad's neighborhood hangout. Was back in town visiting recently and had to stop in for a couple of beers - it's the same great place now as it was then. It hasn't changed much, and I mean that in a good way.

Tuesday bartender was friendly and provided good service. It's a beer and wine only place. They don't have any food aside from some shelf stable bar snacks. No weekly events like trivia or karaoke. Smoking is allowed inside.
