The Mouse Trap Tavern

It’s a cute neighborhood-y place. A little light inside and service bit too friendly to be a traditional dive bar. Has a good long bar, comfy barstools with backs for when you are ready to belly up for an extended period. 6 taps, 2 of them craft, full bar.

Extensive fried foods menu. We partook of a fried feast that included mini corn dogs, jalapeno poppers and well-crafted tots with a variety of dipping sauces including sweet chili sauce. All delicious, thank god for Lipitor.

They serve breakfast which is always a plus, but, a very minimal menu. 3 Pool tables. Video poker (duh). Back patio, no heaters. Weird but clean bathroom.

In short, I’d stop in if I was in the area, but not make a special trip.
