Connolly Pub & Grill

Drinks are wet, crowd is ok, food is tasty, bartenders are swell, some creeps and drunken idiots, outdoor area is pleasant, prices are reasonable

It was a Sunday afternoon, I had just driven 6 plus hours up the Eastern Shore in order to get to PA.  

Of course.  Time for a dive bar.

Connolly does not disappoint, this is a Dive Bar Supreme!  The human drama presented by the local cast of characters made the drive so worth it....

The mix of people was all over the place.  Basically speaking, if you fit into a demographic group of any type, you will fit in here.  Including 'Just got out of my weekend jail work release program.'  Or 'late 40's woman that likes to lift up her shirt and expose herself.'

Now, couple the above with the requisite blend of hipsters and local kids and you've really got something!  And the part time bartender that was a huge fan of Indie Rock, well, she was the icing on this gem of a cake for sure!

I was hungry so asked to see the menu.  They brought me a takeout menu from a couple of nearby Italian places (Connolly doesn't cook on Sunday.  Not sure if it is laziness of religiousness)...but that is just part of the charm of this place.

I will most certainly be back, and you should really come with...

A pleasant place to get inebriated. Hip young crowd, energetic bartenders, decent drink prices, and everyone sort of keeps cool. Go on a Friday or Saturday night. Not the trashy dive bar it used to be. The outdoor patio area is sick to chill at when it's warm too. The occasional milf may slip through sometimes. Weeknights tend to be quiet but great for a large group of your friend to drink in peace.
