The Foundry Pub

The neighborhood is sketchy but the Foundry is a nice place to hang out.  They have decent food selection and if you like burgers they have very good ones.  They literally grill them on the patio.  They have excellent drink specials.  The staff is always very friendly.  They have Karaoke on Thursdays.  
As for JoAnn C's comment that her gay friend was asked to leave, I find that very surprising.  There are quite a few gay people who hang out there on a regular basis and I've never seen any treated in such a way.

This place has always been extremely welcoming to me and my very diverse group of friends. I can't believe for one second that anyone would be treated differently here..

Good cheap drinks, great bar food, friendly staff.

Decent bar food, nothing really to write home about...just fried stuff and pizza...but they have 2.00 16oz PBR and after a long sweaty roller derby practice this place is great...right across from the skadium.....Very clean and nice people...The owners are cool
