G.I.S Bar

The mirror says established in 1916 and I believe it. This distinct establishment is a very small and charming Old Forge bar with a unique young-​to-​old crowd. The owners are young and very nice. Drinks are cheap and the servers are super friendly. I especially love all the local sports memorabilia complementing the overwhelmed 1970’s paneled walls. Some may say it’s beat-​up and tattered I however like to think of it as «broken-​in» with a boat load of character. The shelving behind the bar is tricked out with some impressive woodwork that looks older than the dirt it sits on. If only these walls could talk. The men’s room is horrific, however there is a Hanoi Jane sticker in the urinal to distract you from its surroundings. They have no menu so don’t show up hungry unless you’re into Slim Jims and Cheese Doodles. Smoking is permitted. PP
