What players say

My Great Uncle Dave's place. It has one pool table, half a bathroom, and an old school jukebox with Portishead on it. Kurt Vonnegut loved it, and for a long time it was the Writer's Workshop designated hangout. One of the oldest gay-owned businesses in a town with deep LGBT roots

★★★★★ Zach, Apr 2023

Great dive. Very cozy atmosphere with a pool table and an old school jukebox. The bar has a ton of history. All around a nice place to find yourself on an Saturday night.

★★★★★ Daniel, Apr 2025

Cozy atmosphere, nicely curated jukebox. Drinks are reasonably priced, though the beer could be colder. Order an IPA, a Guinness (both of which tolerate the temperature better), or better yet, straight whiskey. The pours are very generous.
