Winchester Bar & Grill

One of the best shitty bars I ever go to. Is it dark? Yep. Dingy? uh huh. Does it feel like I am an outsider? nope.
No judging here. Locals sitting with mini pitchers and me with mine. Almost an unspoken commradere.
I like it. good for cheap beer and crappy live music. That las part is subjective, but I was subjected to a lot of shit when I was younger.
The Winchester is the last stand in one of my favorite zombie movies and I intend, should the day come, to have my last stand against the horde at the Winchester

Nothing too fancy about the Winchester. No, nothing fancy at all. It’s a dimly lit dive across the street from Fun Plex. Was there on a Wednesday afternoon for a beer with Mike S. The place was spattered with old men downing pints. A good sign in my book.
We ordered a couple mini pitchers of PBR for $ 4 a pop. That’s a bout $ 2 a beer. Not a bad deal. What’s odd is that the bartender gave us some frosty plastic mugs to drink out of. I dunno, freezing plastic just doesn’t work. Needs to be glass, but oh well.
They did have a dedicated cook on the clock to serve up some greasy pub grub. There were also a few bar games, a pinball table and even a good old fashioned piss trough in the men’s room.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back here. But if I randomly found myself at Winchester’s again for whatever reason, I wouldn’t complain.

Used to be a descent place. Has gone down hill and at mock speed. It’s alright to shoot some pool, toss some darts and have a drink but other than that it’s not much.

Man is this place a hole in the wall. I have a few friends that seem to like it so it must not be all that bad… or I have stupid friends. Either way, you can get drunk and have to shower no matter the bar. Right? or is that me. I’ve said to much.

It’s a bar.
It’s not «hipster», classy, touristy, romantic, trendy, upscale or intimate.
It’s a bar.
They serve drinks, they have pretty nice staff, they have volleyball out back.
And I’m totally going to be heading there when the zombie apocalypse begins. :)
But if you’re looking for «hipster», classy, touristy, romantic, trendy, upscale or intimate — spin again.

Well this place hasn’t ever been top notch, but it has went downhill. Went in there one day for lunch and one of the guys sat in some sort of liquid in his chair… I really hope it was a leak in the roof!
Next time we went we all ordered water. So there are 3 waters in front of us. All 3 of different color. Yes. Color. Probably wouldn’t have noticed the slight tinge but sitting next to each other, you could tell they were all different shades! I had a cheese-​steak that day and couldn’t even eat it, it was that terrible.
After a couple of other order mix-​ups and the ‘graywater’ incident, we won’t be returning.
