**Dive Bar Experience: A Local Gem** This eclectic dive bar offers a vibrant atmosphere that appeals to a diverse crowd, from seasoned locals to adventurous newcomers. Known for its affordable drinks and casual vibe, it invites patrons to enjoy games of pool and darts while mingling in a lively setting. Regulars praise the welcoming staff, including veterans who contribute to a familial environment, ensuring a drama-free experience. Though the bar has its quirks—like a less-than-sterile bathroom or a rowdy late-night crowd—its charm lies in the authentic camaraderie and unpretentious ambiance, making it a unique spot for those seeking a genuine local hangout.

Was Anonym at Saloon 2 a mag?
We've been visiting this bar, which has gone by many different names over the years, and it has remained consistently enjoyable. It's a great spot to grab a drink, play a game of pool, and perhaps even have a burnout in the street. Wade and Steve are the best! View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Saloon 2:
Not the bar for everyone but if you dont mind a bar the gets rowdy after midnight ita a pretty cool spot. Older crowd, younger crowd, and pretty cheap drinks never hurt anyones feelings. Pool table is awful though View all feedback.

Natasha and Brook are fantastic bartenders! The owner is also a wonderful person to chat with at the bar. I'm grateful for the young people who create such a relaxed atmosphere, making it feel like a friendly gathering place.

What can I say about this place that most people don't already know? It's a bar owned and operated by veterans that truly strives to ensure everyone has a fantastic time. However, as you might expect, those with military backgrounds have a unique sense of humor. We welcome everyone and aim for a fun atmosphere for all. As for dietary options, if you're vegetarian, just ask—there may be something for you! And for those with gluten concerns, we might have options available. Just keep in mind, we are primarily a "liquid diet" restaurant!
