| - Before you read my review know this: I grew up in a small town and my definition of dive is way different than many folks' idea of a dive bar. If there wasn't a protective cage around the band (yeah, the "chicken coop" then it was probably a fancy place and you didn't want to drink there. I was not put off about the outer appearance of Davy's at all.
NOTE TO FUTURE PATRONS: I have never had a problem in the parking lot but definitely use common sense. The staff does monitor their portion of the lot as best they can, and I have always been escorted and watched out the door until I make it to my car on the late nights if I'm going out by myself.
Absolutely one of my favorite dive bars. I use this one to separate the men from the boys when I have visitors. If you can't make it past the initial appearance from the parking lot, then I'll probably haul your ass back to the strip and make you pay for $15 kiddie meal sized drinks for both of us the rest of your trip. LOL
For the record, I've not had a visitor who hasn't loved this place. The staff and the patrons (and the crazy cheap drinks) have made this on to many of my visitor's "top" lists and has been the spot for many a memorable night.
*CASH ONLY but they have an ATM on site*
Pros:
Staff - Chris (Holler), who I was happy to find again after being a customer of his in another bar, is always smiling and happy. Makes some mean drinks and ensures everyone feels welcome and is comfortable and having a good time. Midnight Chris is a chilled out gentleman; well spoken and interesting conversationalist when you want to chat, but also maintains a low-key yet attentive vibe. Probably one of my all-time favorite midnight bartenders. Does great photos and keeps the Davy's FB page looking tight. Marion is awesome. Baseball and keeping it real - love her. She makes some of the best jello shots in the world.
Drinks - prices are super and the jello shots are yummy. They now have ginger beer!!! Bar is well stocked and if they don't have it, they will get it for you.
Interior - pirate themed as previously mentioned. Clean. This place is set up shotgun shack style. Long bar with gaming, a few tables, and another bank of gaming machines opposite the bar. Pool table sits near the entrance and gives players ample room. Did I mention clean? Yes. No creepy crawlies or cooties. They DO NOT play about keeping the ladies room clean. Its old, but not dirty. If something is amiss, let them know and it will be attended to ASAP.
Patrons vary from neighborhood regulars to ???? You just never know. Always a good crowd though. I've never seen anyone flip out or have attitude. I'm certain if it happens, the staff takes care of business ASAP. The people are just great. I've been party to or overheard everything from philosophy to the absurd in here.
Cons - Limited parking on the super busy nights. Not that big of a deal really.
Cash only - not a problem, but some people don't like that.
Bonus - great Mexican place two doors down and no one minds if you bring the food in to the bar.
