Bluegrass Tavern

First, we’re from out of town. I specifically wanted a local tavern with personality. As you pull into the parking lot it’s very bland and no frills. It was then I knew I was in the right place. My traveling companions had their doubts, but I knew the place would have personality. I hate places that don’t. I told them that if, when we walk in, at least four people don’t turn and stare at us, we’re leaving. We got five head turns, and I was home. I knew we were in the right place. These folks all appeared local and we were greeted by a friendly female bartender who asked, “How y’all doin’?” Yup. I knew it was a solid pick. First, I don’t want touristy places, second, locals are and should always be curious about who’s walking in because more times than not, it’s someone they know. Ample seating here. Pool tables. A poker game going on in the back room. Juke box! Need I say more? Ok, just a few words. Beer is served here, only beer (well, food too but no spirits). So if you’re looking for bourbon, you best bring it in your own flask, like the fella I saw carrying it in his back pocket. But seriously, I’m not sure if that’s kosher, so best ask first. Beer was cold, service was friendly, and quite casual. Don’t be afraid to go to the bar and order your second round if the waitress isn’t around. No frills and chill here. I bet the stage has some great music at night. Would love to come back.
