| - Can you say "seedy"? That's what this place appeared to be in first impressions. The bar itself is steps below classy, and a step above "dive" but it was the characters hanging around that really made the place gross. We walk in through the side door from the parking lot and there's two dogs (adorable) lying by a dirty backpack and a water bowl. And then we notice the homeless guy who comes up to us trying to bum cigarettes. We tell him that we don't smoke, jokingly quip that smoking is bad for you, and he looked like he was about to blow his freakin' top. Also, he kept making drug references. We quickly realize this isn't our "crowd".
Now the drinks here were reasonably priced, there's the obligatory slot machines at the bar, good service from the bartender, and a decently clean bar environment. I love a good dive and I'd say this is more than just that. I suppose you can't really control the clientele unless they're really bugging or harming others (or if they're just too drunk) but the customers here made my friends, who were visiting from back east, very uncomfortable. I work nearby and I guess I'm used to the characters who hang out around this area. But even I was uncomfortable.
I honestly don't think I'll be back but if you threw this bar into my neck of the woods in Henderson I'd be there, like, every day.
