EDITORS TIPS
Know Before You Go: This is a cash-only, beer-only bar. Specialty drafts like Widmer, Harp and Guinness are a real steal when purchased in 20-ounce schooners.
Look Good: This is definitely a dress-down establishment. Blend in with the regulars by purchasing Joe Jost's merchandise from the bartender.
Save Time: Avoid the long waits for pool by arriving before 8pm, Thursdays through Sundays.
The Extras: The bar uses an antique roaster to cook its own half-pound bags of peanuts.
