Beck Tavern

Keep your manicured nails and your purse dog at home.  Low Beck is a salt of the earth neighborhood bar.  Call it a dive, call it a hole in the wall...it's really not either.  This is just a bar that is well...a bar.  This is exactly what you're supposed to walk into when you want to have a couple beers and laughs with the boys.  This is exactly the type of place that you take your girl to knock back a few.  This is the type of place that doesn't feel contrived or fake.

The inside is old, wooden, dank and bristling with welcoming regulars.  We were actually waved in from one of the regulars while we were looking for a watering hole (Thanks Steve...enjoyed meeting you!).  We enjoyed conversation with a few regulars and got to learn a little about Tom, our bartender (wicked glasses by the way!).

This place has cheap drinks, great conversation, a great atmosphere, and televisions tuned to sports.  I'm not really sure what you could dislike about this place unless your nose is pointed past 9 O'Clock.

Try: Bellying up to the bar and conversing with the regulars

Avoid:  Using the restrooms if you brought your purse dog

Shh is a cute little hole in the wall bar. Good drinks and a juke box is never a bad thing. However $1 charge for credit usage is. I wasn't ready for that one.

The Beck Tavern is delightfully divey and cheap. Dark with a smell but it's a great place to get a cheap drink. The only food is pretzels and chips. Bummer.
