The Paddle Wheel Saloon

Cocktail bar

👍👍 Did you know they recently renovated! I mean, Wow! I want to say that it's still a dive bar, but it doesn't really look like one anymore.

Crossroads Lounge

Cocktail bar

👍👍 Bar was full but it was still a great time and Ms. Bob always made sure my drink was full.

😠 A female bartender with white hair was rude to us as soon as we came in. There was only a few people at the bar, and she embarrassed us by screaming at us for us to show her our ID’s. We complied but one of our friends forgot her ID in the car, and she proceeded to scream obscenities at us. I could...
