Hey....its the Drew Carrey bar. Â Yep, thats right its the Warsaw tavern. Â I dont play pool but they have a pool table and actually have a great patio in back. Â No food here but they seem to have a ton of outings and fund raisers where people bring food in. Â Drinks are cheap and its fun to people watch. Â cant complain though....its a dive bar with a familiar feel.
Review Source:Formerly the Warsaw Tavern, the dive bar featured on the Drew Carey show [note it looks nothing like the one on the show], this Irish-in-name-only dive bar was a pleasant surprise.
Inside, the place was half empty. Not a typical dive bar: the lighting and colors of the walls were too bright and vivid for a dive and was recently remodeled within the past 10 years. I didn't see their liquor selection but saw a few bottles of Absolut. A few folks of all ages, a couple TVs above the bar. Regulars were friendly, no hassles, one of them brought their dog who walked around the place. Â
The prices were all right: $4 for a Burning River on Draft, $3.50 for a dortmunder, along with 2 or 3 other domestics on draft. There's a fridge of Red Bull.
There were about a dozen domestic bottles and oddly, Warsteiner and Strongbow. There's two pool tables in good condition, with chalk, hand powder, and enough space to maneuver your cues. There's also a dart board. A friendly regular whom I played pool with said there's darts and pool leagues here. Â
There's no food there besides hot dogs and sausages rotating on a broiler. Lastly, there's a concrete slab [with a high wooden fence] as a patio behind the building. Somewhat irrelevant, the bartender was wearing a fleece jacket; I had not seen one of those since 2003 [although I loved mine]. A very high 3 stars.
