Love this place! Write your name on the chalkboard and wait ur turn for pool. You can play darts or join a league. Best of all you can enjoy the best bartender EVER, my Aunt Kim… But to ya’ll it’s Kimberly. She is the coolest and funniest bartender out there…. Just ask her!

Well… hello, Darlin’.
Stopped in to PIKLS around 10 p.m. after a long day chasing fish and fresh air, hoping to sip something smooth and decompress. But what I got instead felt more like an audition for a Prohibition-era remake of Footloose.

I order a Disaronno and sour—a simple, sweet cordial cocktail. The bartender, in what I can only describe as a mix of confusion and condescension, asked how I wanted it made. Um… the standard way? You know, like how you’d pour literally every other Amaretto Sour in America? I wasn’t there to teach a mixology class. Just pour the drink, Darlin’.

Speaking of which—she called everyone Darlin’. Not once. Not twice. We’re talkin’ every third word out of her mouth. I half expected Conway Twitty to rise from the jukebox and serenade us personally. If she’d said “Hello, Darlin’” one more time, I might’ve filed for emotional damages.

Now here’s where it went off the rails. I was maybe a third of the way into my first drink—hadn’t even gotten to the ice melt—when she stops mid-shift to ask:
“Are you driving?”
Caught off guard, I answered with a straight face, “Hadn’t planned on it. I’m waiting on my helicopter.”
Because really—what else do you say to a question that weird and condescending? I wasn’t staggering. I wasn’t slurring. I was literally sipping the weakest drink I’ve had in years. It was like being breathalyzed after licking a rum cake.

She wouldn’t let it go, either. Kept circling back to it. “Better have some water.” “Might have to cut you off.” It was surreal. I’ve had bolder communion wine.

And then, to top it all off—$7 for that drink.
Seven dollars!
I’ve paid less at actual country clubs, where the bartenders know how to pour and don’t interrogate you like you just failed a field sobriety test on the way in. For a neighborhood bar with fluorescent lights and trust issues? That’s highway robbery, not hospitality.

Then they hit last call at 10:30 p.m. The place was already clearing out at 10:15. I don’t blame them. It’s hard to keep a crowd when your bartending style is a cross between Miss Manners and a parole officer.

If you’re looking for judgmental glances, weak drinks, and to be called Darlin’ until you question your own name—PIKLS is the place.
Otherwise, skip it. Unless your helicopter’s already on the roof.

Strong pours and cheap tabs, my favorite mix! It’s a small bar with two pool tables, darts and a golden tee machine. Dive bar feel, with phenomenal service. We had an absolute blast and will be back!

Perfect little dive bar. Play a little music, interact with other patrons, and enjoy the many beverage selections made by a very attentive staff. The beer is served in ice cold glasses and the prices are very reasonable. The bartenders make me feel at home every time I walk in!
