Foley’s is unpretentious. It’s a local bar in every sense of the word. But note: it is a smoker’s bar, without apology. The staff is attentive & polite. The food is bar-quality good, the patrons are friendly.

I went to this place after landing in town from after several hours of driving. I connected with a friend of mine that was having a really hard time in life and we were simply seeking somewhere to eat. We got there at about 10:30pm or so.
My experience was one that I've never had in any professional establishment ever. The moment I sat down with my friend, the woman who continuesly identified herself as the owner asked my friend (who admittedly looks young) for her ID. My friend recently had her things stolen and only had her ID saved in her phone. Neither of us intended to drink since I have been sober for a period of time.
Each time either me or my associate opened our mouth to try to express to her our situation, she became more irate and rude. Her position was that if whomever came to inspect IDs and she didn't have hers, That she would be liable as the business owner.
Initially I thought her concern was the fear of serving alcohol to anyone underage and the consequences if so. Once I asked her does she not have access to attorneys (something I help business owners connect to regularly) she began yelling and displaying the worst indignation I had ever seen from a business owner. I am inclined to believe that her behavior towards me was decidedly discriminatory. We weren't rude, we never raised our voice or used any language that would have warranted being treated as less than human.
All I wanted was food. Which I'd have gladly been accommodating if she had taken half a second to listen to what we were saying as opposed to immediately seeking a reason not to serve us. To feel unwelcomed in my city of birth is one of the most terrible feelings I have ever experienced. Apparently the kitchen was closed. Something we could have resolved immediately if the "owner" would have taken the time hear what we had to say.

I LOOOOVEEE THE STAFFF , with the exception of MEG from my experience is racist x100! I sat here today and my other black friend had to go to the owner about their owner than explaining the issue, bc he know like I, it’s start a mental race issue WITH MEG AS ALWAYS AND KNOW.N BY MANY BLACK PATRON! THEY ARE WILLING TO NOW SPEAK AFTER TONIGHT!I reported her issues in 2022 and it hasn’t changed. i come here to relax and listen to the available music. Meg tells me a black woman, Beyonce, if played multiple times will make her upset and she will project that to customers. She never has asked anyone else this EVVER! In discussing further of no tip, she advised me not to come back in if I’m not playing the music that makes HER happy if not expecting for it to be turned off or for anger to go to other patrons which made me feel discriminated and responsible for others bad times. In drinking my drink in an almost empty bar, NOW, I’m taking seats up and mich as before amassing people around her to bully. This isn’t right and MEG SHOULD BE FIRED but at the very least a case is coming as she informed me her and the owner talk often and hertreatment is of the bar. As Meg stated if I want different treatment don’t come on her shift vs trying to make things right.
My biggest fear is retaliation for speaking out CONTINUALLY on the same issue and we are still here and I AM BANNNED. So another reason this is public bc of the fear she put in me that her and the owner are so close that my claims will mean nothing!

Best Home Bar and Grill. You're Family when you are
Fun, affordable and tons to do. The Old skool shuffleboard game alone is worth stopping by if ya haven't played in a while. Jukebox pumping an array of music as eclectic as the regulars open to close. Home for persecuted smokers and In my opinion best burger in town. Did I mention TJs Pizzas?
Vegetarian options: Giant fresh salads. Try the chef. It's my fav. Takes me 2 days to eat and doesn't get soggy. Substitute the meat n eggs for extra veggies and croutons w/ Italian dressing. It's the shizzle?
Wheelchair accessibility: Parking available upfront street level no steps 2 bathrooms available for anyone with a hitch in their giddy up.
