Drink At Dogpatch Saloon

All bars should be erected in the image of Dogpatch Saloon.  You will find nothing but great bartenders pouring stiff drinks with the occasional sound of live jazz permeating the background air. Dogpatch has a real old school feel to it.  From the worn and dirty checkered floor to the
