There should never be lines at casual bars, ever. Lucky for you they open at 11 a.m. most days and the place is nearly empty: day drunk.
This Uptown bar boasts one of the better beer selections in town, and it opens at 1 p.m.
There's bar food if you're hungry -- nickel-thin burger patties on honest buns with plenty of mustard, and plenty of fried things from the deep fryer -- but mostly there's cold beer and conversation
The bar feels more like a house (with a bar and a pool table in it) and the front porch may or may not fall down before you finish your first beer, but that's what makes dive bars exciting.
