Prues Bar — Restaurant in Pontiac

If I just moved here 3 years ago, wait I did! This place reminds me of where I met my wife when she was bartending in Kennett Square PA. The cool thing about Kennett is the diversity, and this place gets a mixed crowd, and even though my wife worked in the more urban side of Kennett as opposed to the main strip, and I guess you could say that for this place, but it's right across from the post office. I live near keego and can walk there, and you may see someone with a tattoo on their face, and everyone is nice and treats you like family. One guy brings Popeyes Chicken you can eat for free, and everyone is open minded, the bartender is ultra friendly and quick and you won't spend any money. None. Just leave a nice tip. During the day time if you want to watch the news and converse with an older crowd who have been going there before norm went to cheers. You are in their living room, the guests, but when the bartender opens them up you can learn a lot about Oakland County and the owner might be there! Everyone kind of minds there own business, but will be cool if you are. Not as intimidating as the area might seem at night, it's a nice area, I live right next to keego and I walk there. Good pregame. I like to get lost in a crowd of strangers, so that's why only 4 stars....

This bar has no food.. You are however welcome to bring in any outside food or have it delivered..

For the people who don't understand- ordering a water and not paying for it doesn't make you a customer-It's not illegal to kick out somebody who is loitering.

This bar lets in plenty of people who need to warm up or use the bathroom. They're real easy to deal with as long as everybody is respectful of one another.

Ordering a water and taking up a seat in a bar that only makes money off of selling drinks and then wondering why you got asked to leave isnt ridiculous But maybe it's why you don't own a business yourself. 🧘‍♀️

Jukebox is usually going and the drinks are cheap cheap.

Monday through Sunday, Noon until 2:00 a.m.

Pretty...

“Wellllll this is a bar, if you need water you have to leave.” This a a statement Ive NEVER heard from a bar mainly because it is illegal. Been coming here for years for the atmosphere and darts alone but I guess Im not allowed to drink water at this bar. Showed up an hour before close, I understand the frustration.. but jeez. Im a bartender myself and have racked my brain for a sense of understanding to no avail. My issue is she served me at least 10 times before but can’t help but feel discriminated against. Otherwise… what reason would you have to deny me water? I’m sure I would have not had an issue ordering a Jack/water, huh?...
