It's a neighborhood bar that serves it's purpose. It's just a local watering hole, definitely in the dive bar category, but it's not bad. By their sign, they are known for their hot pepper burger which is prepared in front of you by the bartender. They have an ancient gas fired griddle (probably the coolest thing in there) that is kept on all the time. My buddy and I weren't hungry when we stopped around 11 pm, but my friend asked the bartender if he could get a hot pepper burger that late. She said yes, I guess you can get the burger anytime they are open. Drink prices are average, not necessarily cheap, and they offer the typical domestic beers you would expect, not many craft offerings. They do keep a list of banned patrons prominently displayed on the bar, I'm not sure that's such a good idea. Ban the guys, but don't advertise it. Should they clean it up a little and try to make it a little more attractive? Probably. The person that mentioned the pool table being in front is right. I'm sure people like to play pool and not feel separated from the bar, but it is a little crowded and there is an entire half of the building in the back that doesn't get used. They should move it in back. If I lived down the street I could see it as a regular bar to visit, but I don't.

Read moreI've been a part of the Hi n Dri for a good long while, now. Both indirectly, and directly.. I am not at ALL like I used to be, however... I just simply don't go out much anymore..
But... Good, friendly people are really hard to find these days.. and most of the people who I've known here are some of the coolest people in the neighborhood..
The Pub has a friendly demeanor of itself. I have always felt welcomed whenever I went there. Most times, nobody bothers anyone else that looks like they're not in the mood for fellowship.. and that's a good thing. I mean hey..sometimes, you just wanna be left alone for a bit say, when you first arrive after a night of working a shift from your job..
You're not going to find a "Nightclub" atmosphere..or the hassling aspect that can go along with that type of thing.. Hi n Dri is more of a "Working Person's" bar.. just average people that are mature enough to maintain their fun. That's good to have at a bar... You won't find aaaany trouble from anyone else... unless YOU are the one that brings the trouble. Of course, every time you go out when alcohol is involved, your gonna have a few people who don't know that they've had enough.. important thing is, they deal with it here rather steadily and take care of any situation quite quickly
All walks of life. All friendly people. All a...
