The Scene
Greg Arata, proprietor and bartender, maintains certain amenities in his venerable tavern: good beer, great music and a friendly atmosphere. An impressive vinyl collection of jazz and blues stocks the shelves behind the bar. As Coltrane plays softly in the dimly lit hickory room, a nostalgic ambience fills the smoky air. This is not a pickup joint; it's a neighborhood tavern where conversations are sparked, toasts are made and rounds of drinks are bought for newfound friends.

The Booze
A tavern is, by definition, an establishment that only serves beer. This means there are no membership requirements and no cover charge. Junior's serves Guinness, Cutthroat, Budweiser and Labatts on tap, as well as an array of bottled and canned beer.
