Rick Beauchesne
★★★★★Edited 2 years agoOur Plan B Bar. What a great surprise finding this bar. Other than a local we were the only folks in bar for the entire 1+hour we were in the bar. Great ambiance, great drinks and great service. We sipped our drinks while listening to easy pop music playing. It was a nice end to our day.
