Great little bar. Locals were there on a Friday night, made us feel welcome. No judgements for ordering a high noon. Bartender was super nice, will definitely return soon.

Stopped in on a sleepy Sunday afternoon. Not too busy with plenty of locals in the crowd. Bar tender was friendly and made a good Bloody Mary. Just remember that it's a cash only bar.

We were driving around downtown Alton with our moms and stopped in for a drink—what a spot! The inside of the bar has all the things—huge and beautiful wood bar, tables aplenty, TVs playing all the sports all games, slots, and the best part of all: Ricky the bartender, who welcomes everyone regardless of who they are with a warm smile and story after story to make you feel like you are at home. This chance encounter ended up being a highlight of our weekend trip to Grafton. Definitely check this bar out; you’ll be glad you did!
