If you like local dive bars and pizza this is the place to go. Their pizza is the bomb The staff is friendly and most of the regulars are too. Lol. They also have an AMI jukebox, an ATM machine, several TV screens to watch sports games, and video gambling machines. They have a back patio with seating for smokers and they usually have heat out back when they remember to refill the propane tanks. It’s usually just one bartender waiting on everyone and making the pizzas in their pizza oven. Drink a cold one and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait.

I highly recommend this place. Me and my partner came here the other day and it was amazing. First time at a bar and this place was super chill, lots of really nice customers and the bartender makes really good drinks. If you like ginger try the mules.

Libby is one the best bartenders I’ve ever had at this establishment. She is kind, attentive, and can hold a great conversation. She is one of the reasons I will continue to come back. Love Old Town and love Libby!!
