Bars near Waterloo

“My partner had been here years ago, so we were on the beaten path and stopped in. Only 1 other person besides the outgoing friendly bartender. The place looked the way alot of old taverns in small towns off the beaten path look. The original owners of these types of historic structures basically built a 2 story house with a separate entrance on the lower level for a small tavern. The folks who began trickling in were friendly & open to unfamiliar faces, and we stayed for 2nds to enjoy the laughs and stories.So take a left , drive the "off the beaten path" back roads, and slam on the brakes when you see beers signs, and an American flag in the front parking 'Lawn', and stop in!“

They have a different food menu that peaks your interest. The food we had was very good. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful ? We were very happy we stopped and will be back. They have a large patio next to the building to enjoy the weather.“

We all thought the prices were reasonable, especially for the portions and how excellent the food was during our lunch. We will definitely be back.“
