    This is the place that set my standards for long islands. In other words, their “strong island” is the best, 10/10. So far, I have not found a better one.

    One of the few remnants of Houghton that has remained unchanged! I used to walk across the street when I lived above the Lode Theater in the late 80s. Now, in 2024 it's still there and still the same. Go there for a pickled egg and a beer!

    Full disclosure: this was my college bar and will always hold a special place in my heart. That said, I had a great time here tonight with family; playing keno and putting back PBR, pickled eggs and popcorn. Beautiful wood bar & lighting, this historic building kinda makes you feel like you stepped back in time. The “dog” makes everyone feel welcome.

    Had breakfast here. I didn't care for the omelette. The vegetables were diced and blended in with the eggs - more like a scramble shaped into an omelette. Would have given it 3 stars but my wife had the blueberry pancake and it was good.

    Great place to have a drink. Owner is a great guy. He came over & had a shot with my son for his 21st birthday. Will definitely be back!
