Hadn’t been here in years. Thing is, I always only went here in the daytime. Reason? I am not exactly ‘simpatico’ with some of the locals who flood this town in the evenings. You do you. But I don’t need to be near you. During the day, you get the self-same drinkers, less people, and a great vibe . . . which is what a good dive bar should offer.
This visit, the vibe was as it should be. The bartender couldn’t have been more engaging, interesting,...read full review
Great family owned bar with lots of good beers on tap and very nice people. Dog friendly!
Normally I’ve had a very decent experience here but tonight was wild, the bartender was very rude and yelling at people for IDs as they walked in (but not in a normal “hey I need to see everybody’s IDs” way which would have been totally fine). He then continued being incredibly rude across multiple interactions with different customers. Lastly, the kamikazes were 100% not kamikazes (I think they were limoncello). Very weird vibe and experience overall.

The Black Watch is a well-established neighborhood dive bar that offers a no-frills, unpretentious atmosphere. The service provided by the staff, led by the legendary Robert, is consistently friendly and efficient, making both regulars and newcomers feel welcome. The bar has a clean, well-kept appearance with a slightly dark and faintly seedy feel when the lights are low, reminiscent of favorite spots from the 1970s. The stained glass adds a nice touch to the vintage decor. While not offering fancy or gimmicky drinks, the Black Watch provides a classic bar experience, where one can enjoy a drink in a comfortable, welcoming environment. They serve modern cocktails alongside traditional drinks, and for those interested in some fun, there are darts available. The bar is busy by 4 pm and has street parking or a parking garage nearby. The only food options are chips and readymade snacks, and there is no kitchen. Service remains good, and the bar is an ideal spot for a nightcap or a casual visit with friends. It is not kid-friendly but is wheelchair accessible.
