The Scene
Gaudy "Dingus Day" Polish pride and political candidate signs are painted on the side, which serve notice at the end of the bridge as a gateway to the neighborhood of Bloomfield. Customers might find owner Steve behind the bar, with brother Carl checking IDs at the door and father Stan holding court with local Democratic Committee politicos at a window table.

The Vibe
In the evening, tables are removed from the small stage and the tavern rings with the sounds of local music: folk and acoustic on Tuesdays; drum and bass on Wednesdays; various alternative rock bands on the weekends. On Thursdays, the BBT has $1 bottles of imported beer between 11am-midnight, but if you insist on opening the beer yourself, it's $2.
