Formerly called Ron's Dawg House, Bar Flies is a laid-back bar that draws east-siders in for homemade bloody Marys and margaritas, cheap beer and a chance to add a dollar bill to the bar's growing display. Though the new owners made a few changes when they bought the bar, the faux-wood paneling suggests this place is still the dive bar neighbors have come to love.
