Tips from locals
Neat little dive bar. Real smoky though. Cat Power filmed a music video here once. Cash only
Stepping into the Lamplighter is like entering a scene from Twin Peaks--this dive bar is tiny, only takes cash, and always boasts a game of chess. BYO Liquor. ZZ Top used to hang here.
Decades-old dive bar that's seen many changes over the years. Highly recommended for the local dive experience. Beer-only, but you may BYO bottles of wine and the hard stuff.
