This is my favorite dive bar. Most people sit outside at the picnic tables. In cooler weather, they have space heaters. This is a very dog friendly place, so be prepared for most of the guests to have their 4 legged family with them. Check their calendar for music line up. I've heard everything from Sinatra to Bowie here. Open for lunch and dinner with typical burger type menu.
