30th & 2nd Ave [SE Corner] (October 7, 2012)

We got robbed at Waterfront Ale House one night. That sucked, but it's still a pretty good dive bar, with above-average pub grub. Try the Venison Chili, the French Dip, or a burger (Elk, Ostrich, Bison)...all with homemade "catsup." Watch out...their "Sam's Hot sauce" is pure fire.
