Lily’s Bar

Are you currently on a bender or looking to begin one? Do you kind of *have* to drink once the clock flips to PM? Owner/​Operator/​Superhero Bart will not only make you feel welcome, he’ll make you feel like a damned part-​owner. Lily’s Bar: no rules, no boundaries, no functional plumbing. This is a next-​level dive bar. Want to drink stiff cocktails from a pint glass? Want to clog the jukebox with extended live jams? Feel like drawing on and/​or punching holes in the walls? Up for some beer pong… until you need to be revived by paramedics? Need a place to have your mail delivered? Welcome. You’re family here.
When is it open? Who knows, whenever Bart feels like it. Is it clean? OK, cupcake. What’s on tap? You mean besides getting destroyed? Nothing. Nothing is on tap. They probably buy beer at the Price Chopper down the street, and pass on the savings to you, the customer. No wonder why all of the people who go there are so danged friendly. Bart, an affable giant of a man, welcomes all, whether Sagamore snob or deranged mountain hobo. He is the anti-​Taffer.
Lily’s is perfect and Bart is a saint. You could not go there, but you are not an idiot, right?

Every visit to Bolton requires multiple visits to Lily’s. Its setup allows for a beer pong table, billiards, Foosball, and a fully-​stocked beer all in a smallish, cozy space. They have a decent selection of beers, but have a ton of liquors on hand. There are a couple televisions behind the bar. Also behind the bar are some great bartenders — they are always on top of their game.
It’s impossible to walk into Lily’s and leave without being, at minimum, tipsy. The drinks are poured strong, the environment is magnetic, and «stopping in for one quick drink» is much easier said than done.
