Is a nice quiet little place to get an afternoon drink. It has outdoor seating and indoor seating. Everything is reasonably priced and it's easy to be here.

Josie’s is a proper relaxed locals bar. Every time I go I have a nice conversation with someone. The bartenders are cool. I love pool and they have a good table. Aside from the great atmosphere, the best thing about the bar is its jukebox. So good!

A great neighborhood bar. 10 card minimum but not hard to reach. On busy nights it can get difficult to get the attention of the bartender as every time I've been there's only one.

A very low-key neighborhood bar. I was looking for a place to sit and read on a Wednesday evening for a bit, and it was great. Clearly a lot of regulars, including two dogs

Zoe was an amazing bartender! Great vibes, reminded me of Sandy Bells in back home in Edinburgh so much! Good times. Loved it. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

A really generic dive bar that looks suspiciously similar to a number of other bars in the area with one great exception: dogs. Every time I've been there have been two or three dogs running around, having a good time and making friends. There's a pool table and a good amount of seating from which to watch the aforementioned dogs enjoy the bar atmosphere. I wish the beer selection was a little more expansive but it's good enough for the kind of bar that it is. And did I mention the dogs?

I shyly walked up to the bar last night, already drunk from the last haunt and desperate for a martini, expecting to be scoffed at because well, it’s a dive. “You can put it in a rocks glass, I don’t care!” Ry behind the counter immediately served me the best damn dirty martini I’ve ever had for 11 and did so with serious enthusiasm. One of the most personable and friendly bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure of engaging with. This was my first time here and it will certainly not be the last.
