  Casual, unpretentious, relaxed, cheap and comfortable.........definitely not upscale but not at all menacing like some true dives.  This is a long-time neighborhood bar with dock on the river, tucked back from the road just north of the 40th Street Bridge.  Well-worn exterior, interior and clientele.  After driving by for years, I had some time to kill and dropped in to a warm welcome and $1 draft Select.  Beer only, with wine coolers for those not happy with hops.  In mid-afternoon, a few regulars were sipping, joking and chatting, immediately including newcomers in the interchange......so they soon know your name.  This is not of college-kids haunt and no professionally-dressed yuppies or business people in sight; most customers are working-class and well beyond ID checks. Not purely country ruddy-necked but definitely no tourists or international diversity.   Minimal food offerings but occasional parties and free buffets for all comers.
  
  Although I do not often visit bars, and most of the places I frequented in college are now history, I may have to do a nostalgia tour of watering holes on the North and East Sides......SoHo is well covered.
