The Liars' Bench

  Best dive bar in town...and the only one open late.  Just one drink you say? Never.  You will almost always close out the bar.  And even though you regret it in the morning, you always find yourself saying next week, "Just for one drink..."  Fun Gold Rush atmosphere, cool benches, pool table, dart board, and karaoke nights.

  Bar didn't look clean, music was okay...this is not a place to hang out with girls. It seemed okay for a bunch of locals or men, some hangtown Haven stragglers wondering in off the street.

  Good local bar for Placerville. A good group of locals, Drinks are good and the staff is friendly. Darts are fun and two good pool tables.

  We were on one of our marathon dive bar rides and stopped into the Liar's Bench while in Placerville. It was crowded, loud, the beer was frigging ice cold and complimented my huge pour of Patron - which was chased with a bag of Cheetos's. The bartenders were on the ball, attentive, and took care of business.
  
  It can get kinda of tight at the bar as it is a very narrow establishment, but that's what makes it great. There is also a patio in the back if you want to smoke. There is a pool table if you want to rack a few.

  After conquering the Rubicon trail it was high time to celebrate, so the team came here to enjoy some well deserved libations.
  
  The drinks were cheap and stiff as all hell and that's what we were looking for. The local townsfolk were something else and definitely entertaining, except for the super fat chick that thought she was the hottest thing since blow up dolls. A double nasty on the three guys who were swarming all over her like sharks on a dead whale. Yuck.
  
  Worth a drink or two if your in town and the only bar currently open in downtown Placerville.

  Great local dive bar! Cheap drinks, good selection, lots of colorful locals.  Very interesting snatches of conversation to be overheard.  We stop here to and from snowboarding sometimes and it always provides a great little break.  Supposedly it's haunted.

  The locals may not agree, but this is a necessary break on the drive from the Bay Area to Tahoe. Right downtown, just off the freeway (depending on what kind of creative road construction projects are going on) and a unique vibe. Thursday night karaoke is particularly fun, but any time is good to swing in for a tipple.
  
  I liked the place enough to buy a t-shirt. I'll be wearing it when I drop in this Friday evening. Mention this post and I'll have my friend buy you a drink!
