  Torn between a 2 and 3... it's a small but, fun biker bar. 2.5 but, 3 to be nice.
  It's not my thing to come to a Biker Bar... but, this one's A-OK.
  
  Here's the skinny:
  Cash only place.
  A bit divey - That's OK though
  Smokey... it's cool, you're in Indiana.
  There's more parking in the back of the building too.
  Craft Beers can be found here i.e. Bell's & Three Floyd's
  
  Here's the fat:
  It's old school Cash Only - Doesn't accept credit / debit cards. ATM charges $2.50 for cash withdrawal. $2.00 domestics on Mondays too.
  
  I'll admit the place isn't in the best condition, it's a bit divey and some of the booths are a bit ripped up but, that's OK. At least they're comfortable and Linda(the bartender) is one of the nicest old ladies you'll meet. The decor is kind of a hodgepodge of motorcycle and old signs from back in the day.

From my first two impressions the crowd seems pretty chill... no "Roadhouse" stuff going on here.
  
  Being in Indiana, this place does allow smoking inside and on occasion it does get kinda thick. I don't mind since I smoke but, if you got asthma or are just vehemently against us smokers then feel free to stay away. Illinois is right down the street, no smoking inside there.
  
  From the front it doesn't look like there's much parking but, no worries, behind the place is a decent sized gravel lot. Cameras too, the monitor for which is by the pool table.
  
  They do have a good selection of craft beers, spy the picture: <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gOgd2mE4UFSHaogS8RUGqA?select=FqiPk6d-aL5IVpr0yXOu1w">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a> The Craft Beer is a bit more expensive -  I had the Bell's Cherry Stout - $5.00 a pint and the Two Hearted Ale - also $5.00. Picture: <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gOgd2mE4UFSHaogS8RUGqA?select=G7dUAVoGTZ0fsfyyQDBvrg">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a> I'll admit they were pretty darn good but, $5 a beer is too much to charge... this isn't Downtown Chi-town.
  
  In general, I do like this place and I'll end up back here with friends on occasion.

  Note, the grill part is misleading. You can only get frozen pizza there. They do let you order from the pizza joint across the street, though. The beer selection is terrific, and includes a variety of Three Floyds plus a few other impressive microbrews (e.g. Boulevard Harvest Dance Wheat Wine and a beer from Dark Horse). In addition, if you're not from Indiana, be aware that at time of posting smoking appears to still be allowed in bars there. This might make you sad or happy, depending.

  Friendly place with a great craft draft beer selection.  Great jukebox, friendly bar tenders, dart boards, pool table and live acoustic music can all be found at the Bone...
