Howard's is a true neighborhood bar. Don't come in here and expect to read a book or do some work on the wi-fi. Grab a shot and a beer, relax and jump into the conversation. Drinks are relatively inexpensive. Wide variety of domestic beers and a few craft selections. I got a shot and a draft of Labbat Blue for $5. There's some bar snacks (bags of chips, combos, etc), but they are OK with you bringing in food. They also have good prices for six packs and tall boys to go. Although it can seem intimidating (dim light, buzzer to get in), everyone is welcome at Howard's.
