Duffy's Place

Had a fantastic time at Valpo jazz night tonight! Great people and dollar drafts, what more could you want! :)

Well, well, well.  Unless they've changed the rules in this 20 X 20 foot dive bar, you'll walk out of the place smelling like you just smoked 32 cigarettes.

Plan on being around 20 or so students and the other 20 people in the room being local "townies."  The prices are dirt cheap and the food, well, I don't know if I'd eat anything there unless I was in a state of mind where it was hard to say my own name.  That being said, I have been known to eat there and the Cheese Fries are a local favorite.

As for drinks, they have their own drink called a "vacation" which I never figured out how to make.  I couldn't tell you how many vacations I took at Duffy's, but I'll tell you what: Duffy (who is usually always in the bar) knows how to throw one hell of a party.

You can throw Shoes or Bags in the back and they usually have some sort of live music.  If you go, stay off the train tracks if you plan on walking home.

Not much one can say about a dive bar that's not to be expected...except that their cheeseburgers are outta sight!  Great, homemade taste!  Big juicy patties.  My husband & I go there from time to time just for a burger.  Love it!!
