What People Are Saying About Max's Place
The Editor

In Short
All the elements of a textbook dive--dim lighting, unadorned bar, smoke-filled air--come seamlessly together in the narrow room. As the hanging sign outside suggests, Old-Style on tap is a fixture, but the bar stocks a few domestic and German bottles as well. A dartboard has a following, but the decades-old jukebox crammed with oldies gets the most attention.
The Details on Max's Place
What to Drink:
At a buck and a quarter a pop, it would be foolish to drink anything but Old Style draft.
The Extras:
Ask nicely, and like the regulars, you too can have a bag of chips with your drink.
Know Before You Go:
The bartender, Maxine, has been at it for 25 years. Visit a few times, and don't be surprised if she greets you by name.
Smoking Permitted:
Yes
