I'm in the market for a go-to bar and had pleasant experiences at Topper years ago. The atmosphere is casual and the layout comfortably accommodates plenty of viewing space to the band and dancing.

A pool table and shuffle board provide entertainment while the bar is always full with regulars. Quick Draw lottery is a big attraction and while the staff is excellent it can get a bit crowded and overwhelming when a popular...
