Best bar in town for a tradional bar experience

Good music, good place

What can I say to describe this place?Old school, old guard, locals, secret society?The name: So unPC I had to investigate.Nope, not racial. Black Watch is a Scottish military sect of regard, so to speak.I bought the Tshirt in support of my Scottish heritage but probably won't wear it in public.The Wednesday, 3-5p, I visited was active but not full. The gal tending bar was attentive and welcoming. The prices weren't excessive(this is a tony enclave) and the patrons cordial. There was definitely a sense of an inner circle going on.Very dog friendly, exceptionally.Want to experience a 1960's day-drinker's bar? Here ya go. No windows, through those doors and there's no telling if it's noon or midnight. Game room in back.A must for the aficionado of pin-up girls on velvet. (Redone with someone's gf's face)

Love this bar long time. Get a kamikaze you won't be sorry

This place is fantastic! A little small but cheap prices and heavy pours!

A fun old school bar with dart boards

Great dive bar with good priced drinks! I love to play darts which they have there as well! Recommend a visit!

Amanda and Jenn are the best. Way cool laid back working man's bar.

If you know you know.

Been a great bar since 1955 and still is.
