  This place is awesome! I'm from out of town but they treated me like a regular. Bartender is the sweetest thing ever. If I lived near by I'd be here all the time.  The bartender even gave me money to put in the jukebox!

  This bar is a cut above your average dive!  Their prime rib is better than at the famous BBQ joint down the street and their rib-eye steak sandwich is also very good!  Great place to go have a few cocktails with your friends for happy hour.  Decent prices, decent service.  It's not too loud although they have a jukebox with a good selection.

  I find it exceptionally difficult to assign a 'star-rating' to S J Barrington's.  On one hand I absolutely love dive bars.  The criteria set forth for a good dive bar are all exceeded at S J Barrington's, and for that reason I'd love to give it 5-stars in that genre.
  
  On the other hand, stepping into this place from the real world, you can't help but think this is some sort of reality show joke.  The decor consists of garden lattice with fake vines.  The clientele is nothing but the cream of the working class crop.  And the waitstaff...  
  
  My friend and I went to S J's for a few drinks, some bar food and to watch the game on their 21" cathode tubes.  Our buxom 58 year old barkeep served us up some Buffalo wings, potato skins and a round of brew.  Half way into the visit, she returned to ask how the wings were, since she'd never tried them.  Before we could respond she was dipping into the discarded bones and gnawing on the chicken knuckles from a wing I had just tossed in.  I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out from behind the Big Buck Hunter arcade game and tell us we were being punked.  Totally epic!

  this place is hilarious if you like watching overweight locals sing amazing country karaoke.  they also serve up a pretty strong mixed drink and prices are low for the location.  friendly hometown bartenders and a relaxed familial attitude make this a good place, but probably not if you're under 35 (like me) unless you find this sort of thing funny (also like me).
