Paradise is right. Loved this little slice of local flavor just beyond the reach of the college scenesters. Visiting Paradise prompted my friends and I to discuss the differences between a "dive bar" and an "old man bar". I'd more properly classify Paradise as an old man bar because 1) It was full of old men when we went and seems like exactly the kind of place you'd find your grandpa in 2) It's a little worn and shabby, but its not gross and dirty 3) It has none of the trappings of the false, nouveau "dive bars" that cater to a more yuppie clientele.
Drinks are cheap cheap cheap ($4 for a large pint, they also have specials and happy hours) and they had a nice selection of local beers on tap. Bartenders were friendly and funny. Fried cheese curds were delish (but how could fried cheese not be delicious, right?). Really loved this bar as a low key place to just have some beers with friends in peace. It was pretty quiet when we went during the week, but seemed to be picking up steam around 10pm when we left.
Side notes: There is a pool table, dart board, and digital juke box. They also sell a few snack items, and apparently cigarettes by the pack.
