Mike's Tavern

Awesome beer. No food. Great time.

Perfect. Just perfect....a perfect place to have a beer after work. No crappy American lite beers here...only the good stuff!! Great people, great beers and great times. And don't forget to give Skip a little treat!

What no Bud light?  Hell no, try some real stuff!
This place will start to become part of my regular bar rotation, As you walk through the door, you are warped to a simpler time.  A time before people would get drunk on credit, and entertain themselves at a bar with a Mega-touch.  This place before all of these other places is exactly where you would end up.  In other words this is your parents bar baby!  You walk into a converted house and down the right hand side is a long bar-top and some tables on the left, head towards the back as you admire the wood panel-walls and soak up all of what a place like this has to offer.  You will also start to notice all of the nostalgic decorations from beer steins, to games like checkers, and connect four on various tables.  Once you get to the back of this bar there is a huge cooler, inside of that cooler is a collection that would challenge the cast of Animal House.  Fully stocked with various selections of beer, that are all excellent, and a great supplement to the already awesome beers on tap.  Ranging from craft brews to some big names like Guinness, and Smithwicks.  Oh yeah, feel free to grab what you would like out of that cooler and pay the bartender.  Don't forget it is cash only.
Speaking of cash only, it truly is a time capsule, and there isn't anything wrong with that.  If you are pretentious and more worried about what the Kardashians are about to do next, then please take your stilettos somewhere else, because you are in the wrong part of town!
Stop here if you just got out of the Reading Phillies game, and enjoy a few while traffic departs.  Hopefully they will have live music when you visit, just to enhance the visit.
