Great little bar, haven't tried their food, but the remodel (not sure when that was done) is a huge improvement. Went there after a long hiatus to see Aquanet, what a great night and awesome band. Will Def be back again.

Bleachers bar rocks! They’ve got delicious food and great drinks served up by a killer team of cooks and bartenders. All of the bartenders are friendly and super tentative. Whenever we go, we always grab an order of nachos and a bunch of wings. The...Read More

Likely run by ex-police officers, “Blue Lives Matter” flag proudly hung as you walk in - so not friendly to all patrons, just that crowd. They charge $5 for a bottle of water once the bands start to play and won’t serve tap at that...Read More

My favorite watering hole in town. Great servers, great beer selection, and some of the best regular patrons around. Never any issues, drama, or fights. Bleachers is actually quite classy for a dive-esque bar.
