Corner Pocket Bar

You’ve got to love a bar when it’s located in the middle of a residential neighborhood. We’re talking surrounded by blocks of single family homes. Why can’t my neighborhood have a bar like this? While the outside might suggest a perfectly rundown old bar, stepping inside suggests otherwise. There are plenty of new flat screen TVs blaring local news and Jeopardy during the day and, I’d assume, sports at night. They also have a decent selection of crafty bottled beers for about $ 3 each plus a good selection of spirits (I was impressed they had a bottle of Ardbeg, my favorite affordable single malt Scotch). The bartender also made a mean bloody mary. Bud Light was $ 2.25 a pint.
Aside from all the niceties, it’s still a little rough around the edges. The bathroom felt like it could burst at any minute and it had one of those urinals that dropped all the way to the floor. The exterior could use a paint job. And you’ve got to love a gravel parking lot. But the Corner Pocket is a dive bar after all and these little quirks from the past are what you find to love about cozy little spots like this.
I’ll be back!

Great place with great owner. Not for stuck up dbags like Zach H. Go to the Max buddy!
