Perhaps the most distinctive element of this watering hole is its unique facade, which looks like the end of a barrel pointing toward the street. The all-wood motif continues on the inside, where patrons can relax around a fireplace or play darts or video games. Four televisions. Centralized bar with seating surrounding it means the bartender is never far away. Family-owned since 1970 at the same location.
