The Dot Tavern

First, let me set your expectations. This is a bar. There are no frills. If you're looking for $5.00 beers and for a DJ getting the dance floor to go wild, go elsewhere.

Walking through the front door of Dot Tavern, there are a number of small booths to the right, and a large bar with stools on the left. There are a number of flat screens behind the bar that have anything from "The Practice" to "Good Morning America" on. I haven't been here too much in the morning, but I would guess that it's somewhat of a "first-come, first-served" policy.

There is a pinball machine near the back wall as well as a dart board, and then a digital jukebox in the small hallway between the 2 rooms. The 2nd room has a few small booths on the left, a long table with stools on the right, and a $0.50 pool table in the middle.

Your clientele ranges from the "Breakfast Club" that will arrive at 8am on the dot (heh) every morning, to people in their 20s and 30s looking for low-key, high drink volume atmosphere.

Prices are in the favor of the customer: $2.00 PBR drafts, $8.00 PBR pitchers. There are also $2.50 Henry Weinhard's, $8.50 Henry Weinhard's pitchers. They have a few other beers on tap but mostly your typical domestics and a couple of IPAs.

They play the NFL games on Sundays and there is also typically free food that anyone is welcome to. NOTE: I don't know where the food comes from, because there is definitely not a kitchen.

In the warmer months, there is a backdoor that leads to a paved area where there is a grill, along with a table and chairs. For the time being, you can't bring your drinks out there (apparently due to some neighbor complaints) but it is a nice open area to hang out.

I have had nothing but good times here, even when the only person to talk to is one of the variety of bartenders.

Again, if you want no frills and just want to throw back a bunch of drinks with your friends, this is a great spot to go, and you can't beat the cast of characters that you'll meet there.

The DOT opens up at 8 am Monday-Saturday, 10 am on Sunday.

***CASH ONLY*** (There is an ATM with a $1.50 service charge)

No frills, cheap drinks, quiet bar. The type when you open the door and the five guys that have been sitting in the same seats for the last 30 years stare at you. Watch some sports, play some Keno. Definitely a locals bar.
