Creator's Key Takeaways

Now, this bar is 100% our type of place that has cheap drinks, a dive bar atmosphere, a ton of history, it's rooster friendly, and it has great music throughout the week.

And to be able to get that drink or any of their other high quality cocktails for one or two bucks with a little bit of luck is an amazing deal and a lot of fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you visit General Horse Play during happy hour, roll the dice for drink discounts.
Use the Fishing Booker app to filter fishing charters by price and duration.
Look for free parking on side streets in Oldtown, but avoid resident-only spots.
If visiting the Hemingway House, consider the guided tour to get the most information.
