Description

Alternatively known as WCOU Radio Bar, this long-running spot acts as an unpretentious, no-frills neighborhood institution. The bar keeps things basic, serving shots but no spirits alongside its beers. While regular patrons value the cheap happy hour and familiar, community-center feel, experiences with the staff vary widely: the service can range from welcoming to notoriously blunt. The room typically draws an older, quieter crowd, making it a poor match for loud or disruptive groups.
