My favorite bar in geneseo

Exactly what you want in a small town dive bar. Possibly less dive-y since they remodeled after the fire, but still has that 'is it dirty or just dark?' charm. Prices are reasonable and the crowd is locals. Locals that may or may not have been there since 10am... always an interesting time.

Absolutely love the environment get there later in the evening and it's always a respectful crowd the bartender we always see there on Sundays is so sweet and such an amazing lady really gives a nice warm feel to the bar and is always quick to help out I'd give it a 10/10 if I could

This place has its all, music, pool, darts, and nonalchohalic drinks. The bouncer will even theorize about warhammer lore. With a cozy irish atmosphere, go here not just for a fun time but to meet new friends.

Great place for a drink, a game of pool or darts. Just remember, it's a college town and the college kids do go here. It does get pretty packed some nights. Tuesday nights are my favorite, open mic! The locals that come out to sing, can really sing!!!

Friendly staff, very good crowd with a mix of locals and students. The places appears to have quite a history, and to be quite a important establishment in town. Aside from the friendly crowd, the drinks are also very cheap. So go there and buy a round for your friends hahaha

Typical college booze joint. Cold beer, good drinks.

A GREAT Bar! Perfect beer and adult beverage choices. Go ahead... Sign the wall!!
