Recovery Room Tavern

Good dive bar.  Near downtown and a little off the beaten path, but that makes for better parking options.  Cheap beer, darts, and pinball machines.  Definitely a neck beard/hipster spot, but they don't bother me so much sitting at the bar looking conflicted and sipping on PBR.  I've had quite a few rowdy nights there and they handle rough-housing and general acting a fool pretty well.  Throw on a plaid shirt and come join the fun.

This is a tough one for me. I want to like rec room but I just can't get fully on board with it. This is definitely a dive bar packed with pbr drinkers and road bikes lining the outside patio. The inside has an ironic jukebox with popular songs, a pool table, lots of seating, and an exit to the back small enclosed smoking spot.

The happy hour was great. I got a yuengling for $1.50 so I will be back for that! The tater nachos are delicious as well but it is just bar food. Other than that it's your typical dive bar. Dirty, dark, and bathrooms that people should have hepatitis shots to be allowed into.

The crowd is eccentric which I love but sadly it's a high school reunion for me every time I go in there so I try to avoid it. I try to limit seeing those people who haven't showered in weeks.

The patio has corn hole which is always fun during happy hour! The staff is really nice and level headed. On the patio I witnessed two hot headed drunk guys try to start a fight and the bartender came outside and squashed it very calmly and in a quiet manner. It was very impressive. But this bar breeds dumb stuff like that. Because the crowd is extremely mixed people tend to butt heads.

So yes I will be back for the happy hour and some tots but other than that I try to stay away from the overly ironic hip scene.

Rancid vomit smell, stinky bathrooms, cigarette smoke (from a girl smoking in the doorway) and the aroma of fryer grease. I feel like if they just really scrubbed the place it would make being there bearable. They have some games and a lot of seating. The bartender looked like he was waiting for a fight. Speaking of, he also took my order and upon returning to order "another rum & coke" he proceeded to give me a well rum & coke. I asked what it was and he asked if I wanted a Gosling and I said yes. He told me I should specify. It seems to me that since he remembered what I was drinking that he was just trying to be a jerk. It's okay. I guess they don't really care about getting new customers. These good reviews go to show how trashy this generation is.
