Bar review: Chase Place

Chase Place is an unironic dive, and I mean that affectionately. I got a passable chicken fried steak and a pint of domestic draft for $10.

The regulars were busy chainsmoking, hacking, and nursing last night's hangover. It's quieter than Main Street Liquid Co, more not-closed than McCarty's, so if I can handle the smoke I'll go again.
