Toads Tavern

My neighborhood bar with great bartenders and nice people of all ages. They have 3 or 4 slot machines that you can play to win tickets to use towards your drinks or frozen pizza. They also have a pool table and an electronic dart board. Staff are all personable and knowledgeable about specialty shots and drinks. Great jukebox/ sound system with all different types of music to choose from. They have one of the best smoking areas--hands down!!. It's an area that has walls halfway up from the floor and the upper part is all screened in to ceiling. They have lots of booths, tables and chairs out there along with fans for summer and large heaters for winter. I'd say the only draw back is they don't have a kitchen. They serve frozen pizza and offer free popcorn. Drinks are reasonably priced and never will your drink lack the alcohol requested!

Played pool and lost but won some tickets for drinks on machines. That was cool. Bartender polite and prompt. Hard to come by those traits often these days!!

I normally love this bar! Anida is an outstanding, attentive and sexy as hell bartender!!! Always making sure everyone drinks are full, the bar is clean, music is always playing, and makes you feel welcomed!!! But stopped in the other night, I wouldn't even have known it was the same bar! Slow service, took forver to get a drink, and my change, no music, and to get a refill couldn't bartender attention!!! Don't lose Anida, you really have a Rockstar!!!
