Pelle's — Restaurant in Silver Grove

How this place was voted one the best dive bars, when dive is too good of a word for this place. We stopped in over the weekend when in the area, been wanting to try it for a while.

I got the deep fried hoagie with fries and enjoyed every messy, gooey, savory bite of it. If it doesn't get too crowded, I may make this my Bengals game...
