Grumpy's is a classic. It's everything you'd expect in a dive bar. You can't not like it. Yeah, the patrons can be annoying and entitled, parking sucks, the bathroom is not stellar, they sell Veggies pizza, and it's always loud. That's what makes it the bar that it is! NA options: I love that they have Guinness NA! I also love that the bartender served the beer in an actual Guinness glass!

Went on a Tuesday night for a meet an’ greet with local burners. Great dive bar atmosphere, actually a pretty decent selection of liquors. Staff friendly and funny. Had a green chartreuse on the rocks, and shared frozen Heggies Pizza, which actually isn’t that bad at all! The music is loud but selection is good. Come in expecting a dive bar and you’ll have a good time! The locals this bar attracts are great. Definitely would come again.
