Cottage Lounge

• Hours: 11am-2am

Description

The Cottage Lounge is the kind of warm, neighborhood family dive bar that reminds you of your uncle or aunt's basement bar. The folks behind Cottage have really created a unique neighborhood haunt that keeps the regulars coming back, from the brick and paneling to the paraphernalia mounted on the walls (standard neon signs as well as things like one-of-a-kind beer signs or the wagon wheel-framed, neon-adorned longhorn skull). And then there's the friendly-as-family folks working behind the bar -- one bartender's been pouring drinks here for more than four decades. There are only a few beers on draught, along with revolving specials like $2 bottles of Amstel Light. The place has an enormous back parking lot, perfect for filling up with motorcycles (read: choppers and hogs).
