This is now my neighborhood bar. Cheap drinks and unpretentious crowd - great mix of games and activities and a very generous sized patio area. Very intimate setting when bands are playing. So much fun!

Good times, low prices, and a whole lotta fun. Forget fancy cocktails – here, draft beers reign supreme and won't break the bank. But don't underestimate the atmosphere. Darts, ping pong, billiards, and even pinball machines ignite friendly competition, while the laid-back bartender keeps the...Read More

The Vista Bar is nestled in a wonderfully unique A-frame building directly behind Bad Boy Burgers. Once the haven of chain-smoking locals in search of inexpensive libations, it has recently (within the past year or so) been remodeled and improved to great extent. They have a...Read More
