Pelle’s Cafe

The interior of this bar is stuck in the 1980’s, but in a good way. It was an amusing stop for a Saturday afternoon. We drove by and said «We have to check this place out, I mean look. Pelle’s Café is attached to Pelle’s Tax Service. It has to be a good place, right?»
The price is definitely right! $ 2 for any drink, except for one (can’t remember which one) that’s $ 2.25 — the extra quarter might be worth it, but it is CASH ONLY. The bar tender was friendly, and some dude was setting up hot dogs. I’m not sure if there was a special party/​event, but we did notice him grilling on an actual grill outside when we were leaving.
If you do not like smoke, do not go here. I was a smoker, but the amount of smoke in there was really hurting my eyes. I unfortunately will not likely go back for this reason, otherwise, it’s worth visiting!

Pelle’s…oh Pelle’s! We stopped by this unassuming dive bar almost as a joke after hitting up the Silver Grove Dairy Bar. It’s dark exterior with no windows and creepy bud light signs flickering in the distance drew us in.
Once inside you are greeted with a cloud of smoke and a raspy voiced bartender. «We got bud, miller, coors» she says, «all two bucks.» We grabbed a brew, headed to one of the plastic covered bingo-​hall type table tops and began admiring this incredible décor. From fo-​exposed brick painted on the wall to pictures of athletes from the 70’s this really is a dive bar in it’s truest form.
If you can stand the smoke, this is great stop, if not avoid it like the plague.
