Lou's Tavern: A Step Back in Time
My experience at Lou's Tavern was like stepping back in time 50 years. The place is clean, and the food is homemade and delicious. I enjoyed the beer served ice cold in the classic copper mugs.
If you're lucky, you might even catch John John playing drums with the band, adding to the unique atmosphere.
