Walked in here on accident, but am glad I did! Old school dive bar with weird, awesome medieval decorations, a super nice bartender and friendly regulars.

Great place. Excellent drinks for a reasonable price. The daily specials are always nice. The back patio is perfect in the summer and heated in the winter.

Jim's Tap is super old-school, but you're going to love it. It's got the craziest medieval decorations and dark furniture; you feel like you're walking into a bar in the Middle Ages. It's awesome, though - great patio, great drinks!

We stopped here while visiting our Jackrabbit kid and ended up staying for hours! Nice mix of students and locals, fun atmosphere, friendly staff--this place and Ray's are the two most comfortable places to hang out in town if you don't happen to be a 21 year old college student!
