I was visiting in town and hung out at this bar one night. It's a total dive bar inside, and that's cool. I liked the prices and the karaoke was entertaining. The staff was pleasant but the patron's sure were mean muggin :/
I'll visit again next time I'm in town, and I won't take no beef from no body! haha
Ok, the reason it gets four-stars is because this place literally is the definition of a dive bar. First of, everything is extremely old, chairs, tables, and all the drinks come mostly in different styles of mason jars. The food is for the most part Greasy. I wouldn't say its bad. I had some garlic fries which were good but its no Olive Garden. There's no back patio to smoke, so most people are either in the front or in the parking lot sucking on cancer sticks.
The best thing about this place... well, everything actually. Somehow all of these horrible elements come off as delightful, and make you feel like you are in the country or your grandma's house. The people who visit are friendly and are fun to be around. Karaoke brings everyone together for good times. This is a non-judgmental establishment, so I believe that this is what saves it from being seen as a icky run-down-shack.
Loree's was a hangout for locals, it always been a dive, but a fun one. A few years ago the atmosphere changed, the clientele changed with the introduction of a couple of new bartenders. They brought their "clients/customers" with them along with their problems. It was being called Loree's little crack shack by the track, due to the increased used of meth. People were getting hurt, bar fights, attacks with injury's etc. The Police became aware of these problems and increased their enforcement. If you don't mind tweekers and power drinkers give it a try. Â The karaoke there is not as good as other bars, due to the KJ's consumption of alcohol and an unfair rotation. I would seek other venues that are better prepared and equipped to enjoy your night out.
