Pioneer Bar

The feel

Pioneer Bar is a small historic local bar in a building from the early 1900s, and the historic photos along the wall tell you so. It is a homey dive, with something bubbling in the crockpot.

Shuffleboard, darts, pool and Golden Tee give you plenty to do besides drink. Out back there is a patio where The Hooligan food truck serves the food.
