Here are just a few reasons why Digger's is great:
1. 3.00 frosted mugs every single day of the week. Please and thank you. 2. Best group of regulars you'll ever come across. 3. Jukebox available so you can put some money in and listen to what YOU want to. 4. No liquor over 5.00. End.of.story. 5. Free ping pong in the back. 6. .50 darts. 7. Peg, the owner, is the sweetest thing ever. 8. The bartenders care that you're having a good time. 9. 7.50 frozen pizzas 10. Live music often...both local newbs and more well known bands!
Besides all of these obvious qualities there is something very welcoming about this place. Of course there are plenty of regulars, however even if you are not a regular you will feel no different than the rest of the crowd. After your first visit there is no need to re introduce yourself because the bartendars are very good at remembering you as a person not just the drink you ordered. I've been coming to this place for the entire 12 going on 13 years its been open and I can honestly say that this is not your typical place of business. The previous owner Digger did a great job of keeping his friends close and his business well maintained. Now his best friend and soul mate Peg Bateman is following in his footsteps to make sure we continue to grow. Betty, Greg, and Louise are our full time bartenders and I must say if it weren't for them we wouldn't be where we are now. Just the other night we celebrated Louise's 50th birthday with a band and drink specials, the turn out was phenominal. We provide Kareoke on tuesdays occasionally, this last week we had Auto Tune Kareoke, I'm sure you can imagine what the "old timers" thought of that but it brought in a new young crowd. The staff at Diggers makes sure to accomidate all age groups and all types of people. Unfortunatly I dont have more pictures to show you but their facebook has plenty. Hope to see you soon.
