| - Great little neighborhood bar with a lot of history. Usually a good mix of old-timers sitting at the bar watching sports and a younger crowd grabbing a bite to eat and waiting for one of the nightly events. There is usually something going on each night, bluegrass bands, open mic acoustic and comedy, "obscure game night", or whatever big sports game is happening on the big screen.
Hambone's isn't my "go to" place, but I do stop in often. Staff is friendly and prompt, the crowd is never too loud or insane, and the food menu is pretty good. Food is a little bit pricey from what I'm used to spending (yes, I'm cheap), but is definitely worth it. I'm a bit addicted to their Mac and Cheese with gouda and bacon; I really don't want to eat any other Mac and Cheese for the rest of my life if it is not made this way.
This place is non-smoking, which is nice, but they do have a little seating area (that they've satirically dubbed "Paradise") near the back. If you need to grab a quick smoke, you can take your drink, sit at the picnic tables and chairs placed on the un-level, cement courtyard area, and enjoy Paradise.
Also, if you're into pinball, they have a few machines in the very back by the kitchen. They currently have 3 machines up: Pirates of the Caribbean, the old Star Trek, and the super new Wizard of Oz, but I'm sure this is something that changes periodically.
So, in conclusion, go to Hambone's.
