An after-work destination for cops and sports fans, Ira's is a quiet, smoky, neighborhood bar marked by an Old Style beer sign out front. Other than liquor and friends, the only attractions are a worn pool table (50 cents a game), a video poker game and two old televisions. The inexpensive drink specials, and sometimes heated conversations, are the bar's main attractions. Decor elements include a Confederate flag and life-sized stuffed pig.
