Diamond Darcy’s

Ok… So I was sitting on my bum after work at home and my buddy texted me and said «I’m over at Diamond Darcy’s, come over if you want». I’ve driven by the place many times and never gave it any thought. So I figured why not and headed over. I was expecting a hole in the wall dive bar but instead was suprised by a very clean and welcoming gem. My friends were playing video lotteryin the back and I grabbed a drink and joined in. Not long after being there I was greeted by the owner and offered a taste of their home made clam chowder. Personally I have never tried clam chowder before however this suff was amazing! I had just had dinner before I got there so I couldnt eat any more than the taste however I will be back next Friday which is Chowder day to scarf down a bowl. The place is a relaxing place to go unwind without a ton of people and load of noise.

I really should be ashamed of myself for waiting far too long to write about my favorite haunt.
Being a bartender myself, I’m extremely picky and this gem of a place deserves more than five stars, hands down.
It’s tough to pick the best part about this place but I have to start somewhere, right?
1. Every single bartender is impeccable in his/​her own right. I’m not exactly a regular «regular» but they know what I want as soon as I walk in the door. I’m not a big drinker but I’m a bit high maintenance with my shot, no salt, three lemons, and ice water. I’m rolling my eyes, too.
2. The place is clean… super clean.
3. The décor is beautiful. Darcy has beautiful taste and it shows.
4. It’s preferred that one keeps their voice down and language clean. I like that. No drama.
5. Prices are absolutely fair and reasonable given the atmosphere and quality of food and drink.
6. Be sure to catch the «Feeding Frenzy» via the exotic fish tank each night.
7. There’s always something interesting to look at but not too many televisions to distract. There’s even an ongoing slideshow via one set showcasing customers and their «moments.»
8. Video poker is set in a somewhat private area so you don’t feel like you’re in a casino-​like setting. However, if you want to feel that vibe, there it is.
9. It’s one traffic light away from my house and upon occasion, driving many hours like I often do, it’s perfectly located.

More like diamond in the rough! Wow and more wow. OK so the outside has «Lottery» on the neon sign and usually these places are divey, dicey and dark. Not here at all. Extremely tasteful décor and very up-​to-​date kind of place.
We only went in for a Bloody Mary as we were in there early enough that that kind of drink seemed the most appropriate. We got to talking to Darcy (yes there really is a Darcy) and she explained to us about her homemade Bloody Mary mix and how a wonderful patron had shared her personal NoPo recipe. Not only was the mix wonderful but they automatically use local pepper infused vodka. Speaking of vodkas, they must have every flavor in the world at their bar if that’s your persuasion.
Getting back to Darcy though. Fantastic customer service in all respects and she’s quite a diamond in the rough herself. Very lovely woman by all accounts. Her husband’s not too bad himself.
I plan on coming back again and staying longer this next time to enjoy this secret gem.

Very clean. Very nice. Respectable and fun. Brandy the bartender was aces. Will definitely come back

Surprisingly Cute and clean inside. Classy too! friendly, funny entertaining bartenders.
