I've been here for a few years now and I hate to admit really liking this place. The vice president of our town council was arrested in back of this place for buying heroin in a sting operation, which didn't help it's reputation, but you wouldn't stop going to the grocery store if you heard that one of the cashiers did drugs. Â It's the most beautiful dive bar I've been in since Dave's Tavern in Hell's Kitchen. Â There are odd people, cool people, ethnically diverse people, pool sharks, a really enthusiastic and fast bartender, and cheap, cheap drinks. Â Take a cab home, it costs nothing out here and you surely saved more than that on drinks. Â I've met nurses, ESU cheerleaders, a radio DJ, electricians, and chronically wasted Neanderthals. Â Everyone seems to have a good time. Â it does get a little smoky, but with the door open in the summertime, there's a nice cross-breeze that works better than you'd suspect at clearing the air. Â Very diverse group, excellent pool, people watching, and conversation. Â Nice ,cheap pregamer if you're headed to the Sherman.
Review Source:This place is an absolute dive bar dream come true--came here on a whim a few months ago looking for a good time with the locals. And that is exactly what I got. Beers are cheap as hell, you're free to smoke cigarettes to your heart's content, jello shots are $1, and there is a great shuffle board bowling machine. What's more, you can get a french tickler in the bathroom!
This place saved the day on a recent camping trip when my group couldn't find a place to buy beer--Kay's has plenty of beer... by the case... that you can purchase and walk out with. Also: They open at 7:30AM. So much love for Kay's Tavern.
