Duffy's Tavern

After all the stories my boyfriend recounted about his infamous pub crawls I had no idea what to expect from Chico bars.  With a "though the drinks are cheap, they are also mighty" warning as we set off for Duffys, I was surprised to find the bar both clean and friendly.  The rumors proved to be true as we watched them fill our glass with 90% vodka and 10% soda water and demand a whopping $3.50.  We whisked our cocktails to a quiet room in the back with open seating and a pool table.  After the 8 ball fell in and our glasses emptied we venture back to the bar for round two.  The bartenders were friendly and patient, even after the liquor began to set in.  With friendly patrons, competent staff, stiff drinks, and cheap prices- Duffy's is the perfect place to start the festivities or bring the evening to a close.

I'm not cool enough nor do I think myself more intelligent than everyone else... I also don't like hiking my pants up to my knees to wade through waste and water to squat over unisex toilets.  The staff is nice, I am not a fan of a lot of the clientele.  The place often reeks of a combination of vomit, cat box and arm pit.  An interesting mix but disgusting at any rate.  Way too many people for such a small bar.  Clearly I am in the minority with this opinion but oh well!

Dive bar that has a rougher crowd and not many places to sit and talk when full.
