Blind Dave’s Bar

This is an awesome place to have a good a time or just relax! Bartenders are awesome and patrons are as well! It has the Cheers feeling and even if you don’t know any one you soon will as everyone there is open and inviting! Love this bar!

I think this place has gotten a bit of a bad name, and maybe somewhat unnecessarily. We popped in around noon on a recent Sunday to try their famed Bloody Mary’s, only to find out we were a day late. They make these beautiful creations on Saturdays, not Sundays. According to the poster on the wall, you get skewers of meat, cheese, shrimp, homemade meatballs and even a little White Castle slider burger. All for 7 bucks! We’ll be back! The bartender was kind enough to dress up our Bloody Mary’s with all of the leftover ingredients he could find though, including meat and cheese– which I thought was VERY nice of him!
As far as the crowd, yes it’s very diverse, but everyone was very friendly to us. We settled in like we were in a small town bar, and cheered on the NFL game and the keno with the fellow barflys. They even had some crockpots of food, as they consider Sunday «regulars day» and started a tradition of the potluck several years ago. We didn’t eat any of the food at first, but two fellow patrons encouraged us to try their chili– so we did finally oblige. It was VERY good!
Basically, this is a dive bar– Yes, it’s cash only– Yes, they make Tombstone pizzas in a tiny oven behind the bar, and YES– there might be some interesting characters. I, for one, thought it was a nice break from some of the pretentious places I’ve been in the past.

Not a welcoming place. You will feel right at home but only if you have warrants, then you’ll be amongst friends! The wife and I turned around and walked out. When leaving, a bar patron said «that’s right leave, weez rednecks here!

Perfect place to feel like trash, 365 days a year! There’s an initial sense of homeliness, but that quickly fades once you realize that you are who you hang out with. They can’t make even the simplest of drinks, so don’t you dare order anything except beer. Chances are your bartender will be so annihilated that she will spill half a draft en route, so I would recommend bottles, although then you still have to be concerned about about their disgusting hands twisting the cap off. In fact, just don’t order anything at all, not even water. Stand around and keep your hands in your pockets. Pay someone to fill the jukebox. Bring your own pool cue. If you get bored, stand out in the smoking section and wait for drugs to arrive. When you leave, donate your clothes to Goodwill.

Fun bar… I just wish that the bartender knew how to walk out from behind the bar to check on tables. Seemed odd that she had time to chat with the only guy sitting up at the bar and not enough time to swing through the tables. Money to be made if you hustle, just saying.
