Beachwood Inn

Wow, I am really surprised this place has such high reviews considering my experience, but maybe it was just when I was there. Seemed like a decent dive... My friends and I ended up here displaced from a better bar down the street to watch the Bears/Packers game. I was shocked that the place was mostly empty considering the game, but then I found out why. There's no food, crappy TV's which weren't loud enough, and the bar tender was a total Biochwood if you know what I mean. When we walked in she immediately started hounding all of us for ID's and didn't have a very pleasant tone about it. She didn't even bother to say 'hello' or anything. Just "I NEED TO SEE YOUR ID'S!" We hadn't even ordered yet. Take it easy sister! I didn't giver her my ID right away as I was chatting with friends so she hounded me again. So I took it out and tossed it onto the bar for her. She read it, gave me a really rude snarl then tossed my ID back at me across the bar. Classy. My last and final interaction with her was when she yelled at me about moving a bar stool over by my friend's table to sit by them. She said "Uh, you can't move the bar stools away from the bar." So many rules! I have never heard of a place that wouldn't let you move furniture for customer's comfort. Plus the place was empty! What difference would it make. I decided I was done with her and had my friends grab my drinks for me, and I will not be back to this place. I dedicate this review to the bar tender that worked the eve of 9/13/12.

Again, its all local, good spot when you live one block down and Brian knows your name. But once you venture out of the 'hood, you realize there are other spots with pool tables, phone booths and juke boxes, while actually having beer on draft and a functioning toilet.

If you're not from the USA, don't bother. They don't welcome anyone without ID that they are unfamiliar with - and seem to be very proud if their stance on that too. Passports only. Who's takes a passport out with them for a few beers?. And P.S...,my friend and Me are 31 and 37 respectively and there were only 3 other people at 7.30pm on a Saturday.

Great bar to get away from the glitz which has overtaking Wicker Prak, Simple and direct, cool jukebox, cool bartenders especially when they bring in a movie (DVD) to watch with the sound down while you listen to sounds of the 50's 60's 70's 80's....etc....etc...etc.

Under the radar, this low-key dive bar is decorated like a 13-year-old's bedroom.

Love this hole in the wall pub! Fun games, great jukebox!

beer! locals! music!
