| - You know that green and yellow bar on the right side of the parkway north as you leave the city, this is it. I've passed this place about 500 times and always wanted to stop in. Well last Saturday I finally did, and man-o-man was I pleased. I expected a dingy divey old bar, and this was the opposite. It's clean with a beautiful original wood bar, tin ceilings, and all sorts of brass nicknacks all over the place. The clientele is a bunch of middle aged Northsiders that like to pump the juke box full of classic rock, talk Stillers and 'guins, drink their drinks fast, and do a lot of laughing.The beers are cold, tall, and dirt cheap. A mason jar full of Yuengling is $2.10 or a 24 oz glass is $3.
As outsiders I expected my friend and I to get a "You're not welcome here" look, but the bar tender and other patrons were very friendly and quick to include us in conversation if we wanted to join. Looks like Verdettos just joined my list of go to joints for a good cold beer.
Oh, and apparently they are famous for their Turtle Soup, so there's that too.
