This is a pretty awesome, authentic, town tap. Full of locals having a drink or two or 12. Cute girls tending bar. Add in a few random visitors like me drinking after a day of Turkey hunting or Trout fishing or whatever. You won't get a second look sitting at the bar in full camouflage- a real country place. On a Saturday night EVERYBODY for miles around ends up here. So I have many reasons for really liking this place myself: 1st- at the Gays Mills apple fest this bar had a "float" in the parade. The coolest thing ever- an early 70s Olds 442 with a "Halvers Tap" sign taped to the door (see pics), doing massive burnouts, then slamming on the brakes. Repeat this all around the block. Really awesome. I discussed how impressed I was with Mr. Halver the other night and he told me they'd gotten an 82 year old friend to drive and do the burnouts last year- how do you beat that? You can't- period. Also, this place is pretty hard drinking and rock-n-roll! The juke box is loaded with interesting, pretty hard music and the staff is into it. I heard one dude defend his recent Poison selection as "kind of old school." haha- great! But really, Poison's about the worst crap in there. And they have a regular dude who hangs out back hustling pool games. I swear to God this dude is Satan- skinny with long dark hair, dark shifty eyes, fair skin, sleeveless t-shirt, prison tattoos, missing teeth, the works. I looked at him for quite a while because he looked so familiar, but I've never met him I'm sure. Satan has that effect on a person I hear. So yeah, Halver's Tap is cool- you'll meet lots of interesting locals, get ripped on cheap beer, and have an all around good time.
