It’s worth dealing with the smoke. The burgers and rings are exactly what I remember from 4 decades ago.

This bar is a local tradition for New Castle. There are regulars at the counter each day. They have pool tables, a juke box and a lively atmosphere. I sampled the steak sandwich and WOW. They have meat from Rihms locker, and mix it with cheese and onions on a buttery grilled bun. Excellent diner style steak sandwich. The decor is ecclectic and plenty to look at while you have your beer. It reminds me of the Toby Keith song, "I love this bar." There are bikers, farmers, firemen, hippies, chain smokers and boozers. You can go here to laugh and have a conversation with a stranger, or sit in silence at the bar with a drink. It is a true classic "dive bar". It is locally owned, and you can tell that the owner truly cares about her patrons. We stopped in on the evening of Thanksgiving. I thought it was so neat that the owner had assembled a Thanksgiving dinner for all of her normal patrons. You don't find a family, "we are all in this together" atmosphere like that very often anymore. Warning: they do allow smoking.

The food is expensive, they don't serve any of my drinks, the service blew one and the wifi isn't free. Also I heard the owner stole the neighbors dog & took it to the pound instead of returning it. Horrible place full of apparently horrible people for a horribly long and musky time. Skip this dive.
