  Not be local to this area I won't get here often, but I really wish I could.  Its like they have transplanted all the things I love about West Side dive bars and transplanted them to the East Side.  One more reason for a 40 minute drive!
  
  Drinks are strong, strong and cheap!  The bartender was incredibly friendly and very patient when my friend took FOREVER deciding what he wanted to drink.  We had 3 drinks and diet coke and our total bill was $12. Nice!
  
  The place is dark and old like all the best dive bars are, but seems very clean.  And ladies... the restrooms have been recently remodeled and are always clean.  
  
  I wouldn't drive across town just to go to this bar because it has about 10 doppelgangers near my house (on the west side), but I would definitely become a regular when I am in the area.

  Loved this bar the moment I saw it from the street.  Actually from the moment I heard what it was called.
  
  The place looks pretty sketch from the outside.  The only windows are glass block and the two square ones that are on the security doors, making this place look very strip club or speakeasy-esque.
  
  Upon entering you will find one of the better dive bars in town.  It smells like my parents' basement even with the ceiling fans on full blast.  It is nice and cool in here.  The crowd is friendly and easygoing.  No one is going to stare you down for not being one of "them".  Drinks are cheap.  Hudy Amber on draft was a nice selection.  There are TVs for watching sports.  The bar is generally loud, but you can still hold a conversation with the people next to you.  
  
  This is a very comfortable hangout that the more pretentious have yet to stumble across, and it's got a great name!

  A very simple, no-frills neighborhood bar with a great staff behind the bar. Also the only bar I've ever been in before noon. (They keep very flexible hours for the drinking crowd. Not that I'm a drunk or anything...er..) You may not find your obscure craft beers here, but you will find a reasonably priced cold beverage.

  you want to pay your bar tab in change?  you want to watch football? you want to walk in to a bar with a crock pot? would you like to meet papa smurf?  You can do all these things at the Bramble Patch, home to the NICEST bathrooms a dive bar will ever have.  Get a local pitcher for the cost of a craft beer anywhere else in town.

  Great little dive bar in Madisonville.  Good beer prices.  Great place to watch Sunday football.  Just get there early to find a seat before the game.
