Classic quieter bar. Upstairs and a little more secluded feeling, but still a regular bar with pool, Foosball, great drinks, and helpful bartenders.

I'm not sure if it was the delicious burger, crispy tots, excellent long Island iced tea, terrific service, free pool or cool atmosphere, but this place deserves more stars.

Unfortunate Experience at The Attic BarRating: I recently had an incredibly disappointing and upsetting experience at The Attic Bar. Last week, I witnessed Alex, one of the bartenders, and another bartender being extremely disrespectful to a visibly intoxicated customer. Concerned about the situation, I approached them to inquire and offered to help remove the customer from the bar without any issues.However, my goodwill seemed to have had a negative impact on my subsequent visits. On my return the following week, I encountered hostility from the bartender, and things took a turn for the worse when a worker (skinny guy with the beard) physically confronted me, causing visible scratches on my arm. This unwarranted confrontation was followed by a shocking expulsion from the bar, with the bartender accusing me of being involved in an incident from the previous week that I had no part in. They alleged that the guy I was with had been throwing beer bottles, which is not only unfair since I didn't even know this individual, but also highly questionable as the bar doesn't even sell beer bottles.What's even more concerning is that they waited until I had spent $30 on drinks and tipped $5 before taking action, which raises suspicions about their motives.I can't help but feel that I was racially profiled during this ordeal, as the treatment I received was disproportionate and unjustified. It is deeply troubling that such behavior can occur in a place of business. I would strongly advise against visiting The Attic Bar until they address and rectify these issues, as they have lost a loyal customer in me. Discrimination, unfounded accusations, and questionable timing should never be tolerated, and I hope this review serves as a warning to others who may consider patronizing this establishment.

We stumbled on the Attic Bar Bistro because we parked on the outskirts of town and saw it while we were walking into town. It was a Sunday night, and we were looking for somewhere to celebrate my 60th birthday with some burgers and a couple drinks. It does not look like much from outside, but we were pleasantly surprised once we started climbing the stairs. Cool artwork on the walls, laid back atmosphere, old-time rock n roll from my era playing, pool tables, and the bartender and waiter were great. We had some burgers that were good and drinks at a table overlooking the street. Cool place to chill and catch dinner. We enjoyed ourselves.
