6 reviews for Moose Jaw
This is what I call a locals bar for sure.... I talked to some of the funniest people hanging out here. I have eaten dinner here, I have played pool and drank here and I have been here in Summer and winter months... Fun place to go to relax after a long day.
Great barkeeps and pretty good food!
I wish I could quote some of the things I heard on the last visit.... but... I would no longer have a yelp account... use your imagination. :)
I once remonstrated a few people a while ago for reviewing a dive bar for their exemplary burgers when the atmosphere, music (in the case of the other bar provided via jukebox), and general employee malaise were the draw to said establishment (Casino El Camino in Austin, TX). It is now my turn to review a dive bar for its burgers.
I'm not certain if it was the long day driving through the snowy mountains on windy roads, but I was ravenous. (Loveland Pass is easily terrifying for a person who lives on an almost completely flat city at sea level-Houston.) My burger and fries were amazing. Savory without being terribly greasy.
I love the atmosphere. 70s era softball kitsch indeed! Framed team photos and newspaper clippings blanket the walls. The tables are awesome. Many of them are old weathered wood with holes where the knots used to be. Others are resin coated protecting postcards "addressed to the bar." I can only imagine that decades ago there was a bar event where everyone was invited to write postcards to the bar. In fact Ozzy and Harriet must have been there, or perhaps they just sent a postcard to Moose Jaw years and years ago from their black and white picture tube. :)
Good bar food
I have been going to this place for 25 years and hands down the best burger in the Summit County - Erics in breck and the Goat in Key do not even compare.. go to these places if you want a dried up beef biscuit..
This place has so much character it oozes of you when leaving.. Like Ryan says the crowd is a little rough and stuck in the 70's/80's - you could get in a tussle if you try an hustle the wrong guy on the pool tables in the back..
I suggest the Motherlode burger with all the accoutrement..
PS. If you move to the Summit County they have the best Softball Team!
Olde skool local's-only ski bar.
The divey kind of joint where a mulleted dude named 'Don Johnson' will regale you with endless yarns - most of which conclude with him raising a remonstrative hand to his enchanting ex-wife.
The kind of place where the 'back in the day' stories are about skiing UP the mountain and hiking DOWN.
Enough 80's hair metal, Bud bottles, and softball trophies to initiate a time warp.
Here's a fun place for drinks and food. Two pool tables in the back and a pinball machine make for good times. The food is not amazing, but they do have "fish and fries," because "chips" would be too confusing.
