Richard's Bar

1. Richard's Bar

4.5 star rating
58 reviews

There is something about this place that appeals to everyone across the board. My brother and I can't agree on ANYTHING and we both love Richards. There are always all of these Goodfella's-types who have a ton of stories to tell (I think most are bullsh*t but who cares).  Richards is classic.

jukebox, to a study with a fire place(!), to a pretty great patio. The atmosphere is so subtly weird, that's what gets it for me. Really nice bartenders and very affordable prices. Pool sharks reside...
