My boyfriend and I visited on a Saturday night and had an amazing time. Arriving around 9 PM, there were about ten other people present, creating a perfect vibe—quiet enough for a conversation, but with great music selections. The environment was fantastic, featuring darts, a billiard table, and a patio. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. The bartender made me a mixed drink with tequila, which she called her "cactus cooler." It was delicious and barely tasted like alcohol, yet it definitely gave me a buzz. My boyfriend ordered whiskey, and they filled his drink to the brim, unlike other places that fill the cup halfway. The bartenders were super welcoming, and we had great conversations with them. We will definitely be returning.

Checked out another local pub, I was completely enchanted by Roxy, the Bartender, more of a mom to the neighborhood regulars and, dare I say it, a true tavern matron from those D&D games. In her 20 years she went through the two owners, having been let go in the crossover, she was brought back to roust the unsavory elements of the pub and to restore order. She has done so and created a little haven for the locals. I hadn't been here for 15 years, and she remembered me There is pool, darts, the jukebox, which played stuff from this decade, but of course, you haven't truly been in a hometown bar until Toby Keith is belting out "I love this bar." Like he has brain damage, but that anthem, sung by regulars and travelers passing through winking and pointing and crooning, well it's a camaradrie that is sweet in it's loyalty and stamina. The locals who inhabit this bar work in the biggest industry we have, and are affected by the strike. Roxy, the true treasure here in this gem of a local spot, was making a comfy amount of money as a Business Manager for a Corporation. She retired, and now she runs Gilligan's 4 nights a week
