Bismarck Tavern — Restaurant in Fargo

At night late sometimes it could have a feel for being a rough place, but the reality is that it's rather calm. The Biz sports the best pool table and "regulars" crowd who play around the city.

It draws a variety of people; sometimes you might see just oddballs and other times you might see a trendier crowd. They have blackjack, pool, and pull-tabs. The staff does a good job staying on top of drinks. It's basically an all female staff except for...

The oldest bar in Fargo, and that's the most interesting thing about the place. There's a cigarette machine, a pool table, a guy dealing cards, an ATM, gambling machine, and a notebook where people can write their names. It has an atmosphere pretty specifically made for a specific type of people. It's a stereotypical bar you'd see in old movies or like Moe's from...
