Champs Bar is truly a neighborhood gem -- hands down the cleanest dive bar l've ever been in. The drinks are an absolute steal for the price and every cocktail is made with care by bartenders who clearly love what they do. I'm a big Bloody Mary fan, and lately it feels like the quality everywhere has gone downhill... not here. Champs makes one of the best Bloody Marys I've ever had. No fancy presentation, but the mix is on point and the flavor is unmatched -- which honestly matters more. Amber is the daytime bartender and she makes every random visit joyful and fun. Endless conversations, great energy, and an amazing ability to read people -- she really sets the tone. That said, all the bartenders are solid and good at remembering your drink order, which says a lot. There's no food, but plenty of options next door. The owner clearly takes pride in the place and personally makes sure it's clean and well maintained. TVs throughout for sports, plus darts, pool, golf, pinball. and shuffleboard keep things entertaining. Cash only, but there's an ATM inside. If you're looking for a laid-back, well-run dive with great drinks and even better people, Champs is it And there's Karaoke Friday nights

Prices are great. Pours are average. Staff is responsive. Only thing I dislike is Karaoke on Fridays. Place becomes overly active.
Parking: Limited strip mall tight spot parking

Lowkey spot, they have a couple of dart boards a shuffle board table & a pool table. Bartender that night was a chill dude. Good spot to get away from loud bars & just have a brew & relax.
