Best local spot. Tyler is a gift to this dive, I have never met a bartender that witty and funny. The regulars are friendly and the beers are ice cold. Ask for the wild willy shot

Fragile and sensitive persons need not apply. Great local fun and community focused cocktail lounge. Excellent atmosphere with a slightly salty vibe. Put your adult pants on and grab a cocktail all welcome.

Absolutely awesome for a chill night playing pool. Great bartenders most recent bartender was a mix of friendly but not over doing it. Drinks are a decent deal and it’s usually quick to get a drink. Bathroom is pretty clean too. Watch out in the parking lot tho some spots are hard to get out of

Good drinking and good karoake crowd on Wednesdays from 8pm to closing. The bartender, Tyler is really funny and spreads good energy out to everyone. Has a "Cheers" vibe. If looking for a dive bar with good vibes in the area, this is the place. Especially on Wednesday nights

This Dive Bar will make you feel at home. The drinks are well poured and the community is great. There is Karaoke every Tuesday Night. Every television is playing a game whether it is Nascar/Baseball/Football/Hockey and so on. For those working the night shift, you will find pleasant company in the morning with others like yourself at Norm's

Norm's is a great hole in the wall bar for locals, but if you're not from there they love you just the same. So I regularly go there and they love me and my friends.

It's a great atmosphere. Local pub with a wide range of beers on tap. Not sure about the wine side. The staff has been wonderful. Tuesday night Karaoke has real talent. There were times I was thinking that hey that's a really high quality juke box. Had a pool table and the localz are very welcoming. Can't call it a dive bar because I felt completely safe. I'll definitely keep going back.

Dive bar that supports local bands, which is nice. Bar tender really likes to brush his hair and beard. Place is dog friendly. You best know your neighbors too. This place isn't for strangers and if you're an out of towner don't act like it.

I have been here many times and almost always have a favorable experience.i sometimes bring my chihuahua, Molly and always am treated well. Most of the bartenders are friendly and the patrons are, for the most part, decent friendly people

Love norms. More in the past. Went on Wednesday. Bartender was rude. Not friendly. It explains why the bar was empty. Note to self... Alway, always greet customer with a smile. Hmmm makes me wonder... maybe he has bad teeth.

The bar itself is pretty dope. Liked the music as well. Bartender was unwelcoming, rude, and a dick. No drinks allowed on patio, and extremely limited selection of beers on tap. I Honestly would have rated this a bit better had it not been for the terrible service.

They routinely over serve customers and knowingly let them leave too drunk to drive. They should loose their liquor license and be shut down. The bar tenders are irresponsible and don’t care about the safety of their customers or anyone driving on the roads.

Dude, this place is super rude. I called them just now to double check if they were open and if they were playing football. He answers. "Well I answered the phone, didn't I? Bye!" Firstly, you can NOT be open and still have someone answer the phone. Secondly, he didn't answer my second question. Thirdly, he just hung up on me super rude. If this is the kind of service you can expect from this place, the idiots running it can kick rocks. Place looks like trash anyway
