Prices are much lower than other bars but top shelf liquors, juke box full of classic tunes, bartender was very friendly, like I remembered from my early days of visiting bars . Plus the hours of business are outstanding. You must visit it to appreciate how a true drinking establishment should be run. No food served its just a true example of a real bar.

A true dive bar classic! The service is excellent, and it has that nostalgic, feel-good atmosphere. read more A true dive bar classic! The service is excellent, and it has that nostalgic, feel-good atmosphere.

And I love the jukebox because it's a jukebox. All classic pop songs from the golden old days. From the Rat Pack to Ella Fitzgerald to Tony Bennett and Billie Holiday and Nat King Cole it's all in there. It's a great time for grown folk who remember when bars like these were for the grownups.

This is the best dive bar in the city by far. This will be my first stop when I visit next. These guys are awesome. I love the old school ways. Cash only is the easy to go. Old style in a bottle is hard to find but Richard s had it baby.
