If you like dive bars, you'll love this place. For those people that yap and complain about smelling like smoke...go to bars where they don't allow smoking. No one cares about what you smell like when you leave as your complaining is unwarranted when they have a big sign on the front of the building that screams "SMOKING PERMITTED." If you still walk in, all of your complaining rights have been revoked.
Now, as far as the place itself...the 4 pool tables were in nice condition as the felt looked almost new. The bartender was nice and the karaoke singers were pretty decent. The average age is probably the baby boomer generation, so you won't find groups of all the younger locals here. However, it has a nice ambiance, dive feel, and super nice patrons and employees. The drinks are cheap and stiff and you'll enjoy your experience.
I have to say I really like some of the people there however there is little to no ventilation so for those who don't smoke end up walking out smelling like 300 people blew smoke on them for about a day. Â I can't wait to get home and wash off all the stench from Pardners, Also the prices are a little high for the drinks. Â We have been to other bars which have had better prices. Â The bar tender is so sweet she always has a smile on her face! Â
Also the Karaoke list is the same and outdated. Â They need to update the list so they can continue to bring in the younger generations who will spend more money and bring more friends in.
Speaking of DIVE bars. I completely forgot about the endless nights of pool challenges and karaoke and football games in this place! This being my parents main hangout, I have spent a lot of time in here! It's dark as hell, kinda like Vegas. You can never tell what time of day it is outside while you're here. Sometimes, it's a bit nauseating to walk outside this dungeon into the afternoon blinding light, but it's just as nauseating being inside, so what the hell.
If you can get the pool tables to work, they're cheap and almost always available!
The drinks are strong and the bartenders are even stronger. (personality wise)
Many interesting stories and many interesting folks are just WAITING to be told and met here!
