Point Lounge & Package Store

This place is like cheers lol. dive definitely what a chill place and the owner steve is really nice and the staff cool its not a high class joint its just for you know down to earth people that just want to have a couple of drinks and talk.

Had a wonderful time with Betty and the gang here. Thanks for letting the non-​touristy tourists come and hang out!!! We had so much fun meeting you!

I couldn’t agree with more the reviews of this place. Creepy drunk old people = check. Cheap beer = check. Incredibly awesome juke box with mix CDs = check. What more could you ask for? It took us 2 years to work up the courage to go, despite the fact that we lived within walking distance. The night we did, it was a blast — granted a fight broke up and I was threatened by a professional cage fighter after laughing at him during a pool game, but yea, it was awesome. Just don’t laugh at the regulars. Or cage fighters.

DID SOMEBODY SAY «DIVE BAR?» Don’t get me wrong. This is not 5 stars for atmosphere, or 5 stars for service, or 5 stars for cocktails– this is 5 stars for putting the «dive» in «dive bar.»
This place makes Happy’s Stork Lounge look like LIV @ Fontainebleau.
The first thing you’ll notice is the cigarette smoke. Next thing is the darkness. Third thing is that the old adage «rode hard and put away wet» applies to most everbody/​thing in the place. There’s an old «bowling» table game that doesn’t work, and of course, a pool table and a jukebox. The cash register is the old-​fashioned kind with the rows of buttons for dollars and cents.
Forgive me– I didn’t check out the jukebox, or the ladies room, or the prices, but I will say, I got one drink and it was a VERY generous pour.
People were friendly, especially the dwarf. Yeah, I am NOT kidding. He said he likes the Point better than Billy’s II. I guess Billy’s is too damn fancy?
Anyway, if you’re looking for a true dive, pristine and untouched by hipster hands, this my friends – THIS IS IT.

I randomly pulled in here to kill some time early in the evening. It’s not in my neighborhood, but I felt like I was in my own local dive bar. The place seemed to be full of regulars, everyone was friendly and welcoming. The drinks were cheap and it was karaōke night. Not sure if that happens every friday or what. I had a great time– and sang terribly !

I love dive bars, but even this one scared me. When someone tells you, «no, it’s really time for you to leave…» you go. The jukebox rocks. Met a girl just out of rehab drinking up a storm dancing to the music and wondering if she was drunk. Crowd was great. The bartendress loud and rude. Cheap drinks. Cool people. But what was up with the bathroom? Used the women’s. Highly recommended, but be forewarned, this is one of those dive bars that will not become trendy. Ever.

The point lounge deserves 4 stars because it is such a fabulously decadent den of dive-​bar libation.
You never know what might happen while visiting the Point: someone might barrel-​roll along the length of the pool table, or a girl might slam her cocktail and get jiggy to the musical melodies of «Welcome to the Jungle», or a couple might play cat and mouse with the mouse using your table for protection, or maybe someone will just knock over three barstools on his way out of the place.
While it may only be in the running for best Jukebox in the weekly independent mags, it would win, hands down, for «dirtiest male bathroom». Fear not, as it appears it is okay to use the ladies’ restroom if you have a weak stomach.
