I just wanted to hang out a bit to relax while my wife and daughter are out of town, and this hole-in-the-wall dive definitely did the trick. The pool table was worn, but it was flat, and the cues were straight with good tips. That means a lot to me, and I sank over 3/4 of my shots despite being rusty. It's $1 to play, and the sign said they have free pool on Saturdays until 6. The beer selection on tap was garbage, but the beer was fresh.

My crisis was solved in a few minutes and when I came back an hour later to thank her she was gone and only works that one day a week. Anyway shout out to June with the kind heart who turned my day around. I...
Read moreIn my opinion Nelson's sport pub is a historic landmark. Formerly Harold and Hilda's sports pub this bar has been the neighborhood bar for my whole life. Offering a jukebox, horseshoes, darts, pool and beer it's the quintessential hole in the wall bar. Friendly people cheep beer and low lighting and sports on every TV what more could you ask for. It's not flashy and doesn't want to be. if your looking for a place to get away from the fast paced corporate wasteland that most of us have ever to...
