This past Sunday I was with my friend and we stopped in to uncle Ben’s for some beer.  Lynda was there working.  As soon as we walked in the door she started shouting about how people only tip a dollar and something about food. I was embarrassed I asked if she was talking about my friend or myself she said no but clearly it was definitely about us.  She would not serve us but one beer and hang out at the other end of the bar.  Not even to come over and check on us or see if we wanted anything else. The awesome night bartender came in and gave us another round and shook my hand to say hi.  Nice to meet you this was after all my second time in this place.  I was truly in shock about Lynda’s behavior.

This bar is a must from the bartender all the way down to the cheers feel. We stopped in to grab a drink and stay for much longer then expected. The customers and bartenders were almost like family as soon as you walked in it felt like home. Smaller bar in the stockade around the corner from the bowling alley. Drinks were amazing. Highly highly recommend if you want to feel at home and laugh with a few new people, and a couple of people we knew! Take a walk to Uncle Ben’s and sit back and enjoy.

If you are looking for a friendly neighborhood bar, look no further. This place is reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell experience from the most amazingly welcoming patrons to the sassy bartender, Joe, with her no nonsense attitude but welcoming demeanor. The patrons are quick to buy a round and share stories and are interested in hearing what “the newbies” have to say. If you are just passing through or looking for a semi home bar, such is my case, stop on in and say hello. Just be respectful and tip well. You won’t be sorry.

This is a great place to hide away during the day for an afternoon beverage with decent prices. Parking can be a bit tricky, but this small bar is your quiet "average joes" that never disappoints.  Keep in mind that they don't serve food unless you come for hot dogs. However, their main bartender Fallon is always up for friendly conversation about what she cooked that day for lunch so be sure to pick her brain for recipes. A lively conversationalist, she enjoys hearing jokes and especially likes to engage the customers by making them their favorite orders.

Best place to meet up with friends and elbow your way to the bar for a cocktail and some really good foods.

Barmaid was very hostile! We asked what time they closed and was asked "Why "? We felt like were were not welcome. So we left. I would not recommend this bar at all. I will tell all my friends never to go there.

Fun place to shoot darts. They have no food but as long as you know it's just a beer and liquor joint, it's a good time.

Very friendly owners, staff, and patrons.Service: 5/5

I always have a great time! The bartenders are always very friendly and always right there to serve you. I know the owner and also very friendly and a great guy

Great place! Good beers on tap. Nice staff and atmosphere!  Cool owners. Highly recommended!!!
