Been a few years, and wow. We had kiddos with us last time, so we never saw the bar side. It's probably one of the more impressive dive bars in our area. No lie. I am not a fan of my lovely Wifey's nicotine habit, but once we sat down in the thick of things, she brazenly lit up with a smile on her lip, slightly sneering with a wisp of visible smoke gently wafting from the right corner of her mouth. I wax poetic on unhealthy vices--pardons begged, and hand me a double-shot of well vodka (neat). Great bar food. Hearty. But, boy-oh-boy, if you will have an issue with a smoky bar, just don't go to that side. Take my words as an illustration of what it is. Those of us over 60 will feel nostalgic. Under 60 folks, will race home, strip off their clothes and throw them in the washer. But! Rest assured the dining room side is smoke free.

Read moreThis was a go to for my husband for decades and for us the last decade. I heard it had new owners and I'd like to say, either "train" your cooks or hire a couple that know how to cook. Breakfast steak was WAY over done as well as the eggs. The second round of eggs undercooked. I should have ordered rare steak because the steak was "at best" medium. The server I can't complain about. But dayum. I feel terrible for mentioning over done over medium eggs. Then to find my steak unpalatable about 10 minutes later. I've had overcooked eggs here before but this steak was the REAL disappointment. My husband says another "staple" of north Idaho gone. He's not wrong. I'm very sad to say I won't be returning to the once favorite...
