Oasis Bar and Restaurant

The home of the "famous" Hot Pie since 1918, The Oasis on Harry L Dr. in Johnson City is one of the area's oldest dining establishments.  

Not much to look at from the outside, the inside is a nice little space with the bar (complete with giant fish tank) off to the right and some tables and booths up the stairs by the kitchen. I did not care for the blaring music (about four volume levels higher than I would've preferred) which was playing while I was there.

I got the ever-famous Hot Pie. Weirdest pizza I've ever had. Had to be cheddar cheese instead of the usual mozzarella. The crust was soft and bready and had an off-putting taste I didn't really like.  Now, had I been drunk at the time....I might be telling a different story.

But hey, they've been in business for 92 years. For a local dive bar that's a pretty solid run. I don't know if I'll ever go back myself, but I think there's a lot of folks who would really like it there, so I'd imagine come 2102, another 92 years from now, they'll still be cranking out the Hot Pie like they've been doing since Woodrow Wilson occupied the White House.
