| - Stopped in here last night with the fetching fiancee for a couple of beers and to watch the Dbacks and Monday Night Football simultaneously. We're both fans of little dive neighborhood bars, and this one fit the bill. Lots of TVs all showing games, and a bunch of beers on draft and in bottles.
We didn't eat. We just drank some beer. The beer was fresh and our bartender, Nicole, was VERY friendly and outgoing. We noticed they had a couple of pool tables, so we mosied over and played a half dozen games. The coin-op pool table worked fine (always something of a question in a dive bar) and the bar cues weren't too horrible. And there was extra entertainment from the pool table next to us, where one guy was an unrelenting and shameless self-promoter.
This place is a sausage fest, at least during Monday Night Football. I think the bartender, the server, and my fiancee were the only women in the place. Lots of guys watching the football game and making some harmless noise.
This is not a place for snobs. It's a little neighborhood bar, not a "destination" bar. It's great for watching games, drinking beer and shooting pool with your neighbors. If your favorite bar is Hanny's, you're probably not going to like the Dirty Drummer. If you're more of a Zipps person, you'll fit right in.
As we were paying the bill, we introduced ourselves to Nicole (the bartender) and she was kind enough to run down their weekly food and drink specials for us. Overall, a fine first experience. We'll go back.
