The Symposion

I wanted to stop in here for decades and never have since it's kind of off the beaten path. They've been open for 47 years and my uncle used to come down for a beer or two before I was old enough to drink. Every person that came in was known by name so obviously a very loyal clientele. Love that half the people were able to bring their dogs in with them. They offer a full bar, limited beers on tap plus bottles. You are allowed to bring your own food in or have food delivered here.

Probably the best bar I've ever been to! My friends enjoyed their drinks quite a bit. The patrons were all absolutely lovely; very friendly and talkative, and you could tell it was the local hang out after work for everyone. And of course, the best part was the dogs. I got to pet four dogs while we were there, and all of them were so well-behaved!! We were planning on going back the next day, but some things happened and we didn't make it :( If people actually read this -- Mark, thanks for the offer of a drink, and Jared thanks for all of the food/bar recommendations!! It was wonderful talking with you both <3 And thank you to the owners of Spartacus, Brutus, Freya, and Dizzy; your babies absolutely made my day ;u;
