Editorial Review for The Bitter End – by Anna Balkrishna
In Short
The inside is cluttered with an odd collection of beer ads, hunting trophies, rock-n-roll paraphernalia--the owner is a huge Rolling Stones fan--and even an old suit of armor named "Cedric," purportedly left by some unknown, drunken patron years ago. The clientele ranges from clean-cut college kids to grizzled regulars who've been hanging out here since it was called the Decatur 20 years ago. The bar also features an upstairs game room with two pool tables, dartboards and pinball machines.

STAY AWAY! This place is horrible! I'd suggest to anyone not to waste their time or money and find somewhere better. This place is full of a lot of sleazy guys trying to grab women. They're the same drunk a-holes who will keep stumbling over and making stupid and rude comments to you all night - to the point that it gets really creepy. Ladies - if you're cute, this is not the place for you! I thought it was just the night, so I came back for the trivia thing, and it was pretty boring. Questions were either way too easy or totally obscure. Service was OK and the food was edible (barely), but the atmosphere totally ruined it. They tell you they have drink specials but, while I can't say for sure, I suspect they're trying to get rid of the really old stuff. Sure did taste a little funky! I heard a couple of really off color jokes too - and that was the nail in the coffin! No thank you! The only thing bitter was the taste in my mouth after wasting my time and money in this place! Now I know better!!!
Cons: Nasty guys and drinks
