    The best of the best. Definition of a dive. Most modern thing in there is the cd jukebox. Cash only, great old cash register. Bartender runs a tight ship. Way cheaper to get some of the beers to go but still good "in house" prices. Having said that, you have to stay for at least one drink to let the vibe seep into your pores a bit. Boy, if those walls could talk.

    This place is awesome. Very old school. The bartenders are old and leave you alone but still provide good service. Definitely come here if you're looking for a good dive bar experience.
