American Tavern

American Tavern is a beautifl, timeless, classic example of a dive bar all-around. It is rustic, dirty, and charming. This was one of my favorite finds of the day.Though they have draft beer, we decided to go with bottles for this one. Our bartender, Jessie, was very friendly.The main room features a long L-shaped bar against a wall of brick and detailed woodwork. The men's room floor slopes to one side and features a toilet mounted so that the bowl is partly under the sink and must be approached from the side.There's also a big back room that takes up the ground floor of the neighboring building, that room has pool tables, Silver Strike, darts, and enough room for live entertainment. We spent most of our visit back here playing Silver Strike.

One of the better dive bars in this city. The crowd of regulars are welcoming, the service is quite friendly, and the atmosphere screams of Midwest hole-in-the-wall. This is a great spot for a beer, but I'm not sure about the mixed drinks. I've found that few dives can make a good martini, but that's not what we're here for, right? There's also a pool table; a relic of one, but in good condition.

this was one of the very best bars in the early 70's and now in 2015 with with a new leader and possibly the best leader this dive bar has ever had Tracy C. has began to put together what we Believe to be the beginning of of a dream team of owner and staff so come on in and see me and met the rest of the staff Saturday night to help us get this beautiful place back up and moving strong thanks and see y'all real soon
