Mortimer’s bar is popular with the more “hippy�? clientele and blue collars. They have multiple foosball tables, pinball, and arcade games and are well known for this aspect. A lot of the regulars don’t really even come in for the drinks, they prefer to put their heads down to the foos table. Those not playing foosball are usually pretty friendly.

The bar itself is actually quite large and has 3 main rooms and bars, making it pretty easy to get a seat and/or drink, even though its also usually packed, especially on the weekends.

Although Mortimer’s isn’t too unique (it’s your typical dive bar), that seems to be what workers and what the owners are trying for. Overall, it’s worth a visit during the week for strong drinks and good specials.

Special Thur-Sat: $1.25 Shot Specials at the top of each hour starting at 10pm

Ive been coming to this bar since I turned 21 and have never had a bad experience. My fiance and I live behind it now and do trivia nights every thursday night there and if it weren't for every single sweet ass bartender there we wouldn't even show up...they make the bar what it is. Not to mention us really cool regulars as well.

I just don't like this place. Maybe it's cool if plaid is your thing. Otherwise, go someplace less depressing and less creepy.

This is one of the few places you can go to get a drink and play some good foosball. As far as bartender comments, I am not certain of a place on weekends that has great bartenders - everywhere is packed and the male bartenders are always looking to serve hot females first. That is life.
