The Scene – Folks of all flavors mingle at this Jewelry District watering hole. The straight-talking bar staff serves up Pabst on tap while a sizeable mug-shot of Ol' Blue Eyes stares out from the cinderblock wall, and Johnny Cash croons from the jukebox. (A dollar gets you 10 songs.) Some customers take turns playing pool; others peer up at the enormous sailfish overhead or deal cards from centrally located tables. If you crave intimacy, slide into the curvy banquette covered in indigo velvet; if it's action you seek, the wall-ledge makes for a perfect perch. –…

When to Go:
Consider yourself a pool shark? Tuesday and Sunday night tournaments give you a chance to show your stuff.

Fun dive bar. Lot of friendly and coloful locals. You will want to sit here and have a beer. Lively. Comfortable.

This place is fun. I like bars that feel a bit rowdy, like you're walking into a different world. The place is very causal, very relaxed, it's like "Cheer" meets "Biker bar" meets, "Local drunk fun people bar". There's a dog there. There's a man with a long grey beared, leather vest, beer belly and huge grin on his face, there's a bartender who commands her crowd and will take care of you like you're her own child. There's a juke box and sometimes a bad. Pool tables and plenty of seating indoors. Some outdoor patio action as well.

  • Pros: FUN
  • Cons: if there is a band playing you can't hear yourself or the person you are trying to talk to.
