This past election day, I knew I wanted to slam a couple cold ones before the results rolled in. I wanted something lowkey, away from the bustle of downtown. Little did I know I would stumble onto the best dive bar around Sunnyslope! Dodey's is a small neighborhood watering hole boasting tons of TVs, a decent beer selection, and some pool tables. Service was OK, but it was so busy on a Tuesday (in fact, the busiest place I'd seen all night!) they might have needed a second bartender. I would come back to shoot billiards and sip IPAs. I've been sleeping on this gem for too long!

Best local dive. Very friendly crowd. Pool and darts. Cheap beer prices tap and bottle/can. If youre a wine drinker, this is NOT your place. Parking can be an issue. Pizza and sandwiches next door at Streets of New York Pizza.

I'd like to address the pivotal topic of pub mix. Yes, they have it. Previously, we "Dodos" enjoyed the free Costco brand that included sesame-encrusted discs. And everyone knows those are the best. Although this new mix is still presented in an inviting cradle of foil, it is not the same quality! This is cheese-ball forward, AND the basket of dubious delights features bargain-basement "doritos." Are the bartenders amazing? Yes. But who cares. This pub mix blows. Don't come here. I want all the bar stools for myself. Wait, did I type that out loud?

Good dive bar. Cold, giant beer pitchers/dispenser thing for a decent price. The bartender was good and accommodating of my large group. Darts are janky, pool is good though!

The Lost Dutchman's gold mine of dive bars. Many have looked, many have tried, some have died, others are missing to this very day (which is for the best, not all are worthy of the Dutchman's Divebar secrets.) This place is the elusive goldmine of solid, 24k nugget drink gold.The Dutchman's secret may be percolating thru the local d bar scene talk, but only the most worthy and coolest of cats will find and enter. The bartenders are solid gold. I mean soft, malleable, 24K gold shimmering in the light. Smaug would snatch those golden barkeeps up faster than the Arkenstone. Anyway - the service is what made me come back. Susan and Suzi are the HEARTS of Dodeye's. The rare, genuine service made me feel special, like a welcome guest in their own home. Best green tea shots in the land. Name your shot/drink and they'll make it better than you've ever had it, and at a great price. Pool tables- check. Darts - check. TouchTunes jukebox- check. Dana White life-size cardboard cutout defaced - check. It's a one of a kind place, with a solid strong customer base, willing to fight to the death to protect this hidden gold mine. Don't go looking unless you're ready.
