Earnestine & Hazel's Bar & Grill

This place is absolutely perfect.
If you want tourists, evenings.
I like the quiet early evening vibe, the gal behind the bar is/was super friendly, makes sure you know about the ghosts upstairs. I didn't get spooked but I don't knock it. You don't know.
Maybe the guy smoking in the 12 Mellow Fellows Blues Lounge was a ghost, you don't know‍
Either way, I dug the vibe upstairs.
I dig the entire place:)

I feel for Earnestine and Hazel's--it's a great neighborhood dive bar that's forced to try to be something it's not. So let's be clear: this is not a tourist spot. It's not a cute haunted house, and the word "bougie" does not apply in any way, shape, or form.

What it is is a no-frills place to get a cheap and simple burger that is quite good, whatever bag of chips the guy decides to hand you, and a beer. Maybe watch a game while you're there and chat with the bartender. Don't go looking for more than that, and you'll leave happy.

If you like dive bars then this is the place for you. From the outside, it doesn't look open.
It's a mixed group from older adults to college students. Decent beer selection. Cover band playing was decent as well.

This is the type of place where you can come in quickly to grab a bite and drink. It is not fancy at all. This place is the definition of a dive bar. Customer Service was good and I was told the food was good.

The place looks old like it is falling apart but that is part of the charm. This place only serves single or double cheeseburgers but the burgers are good. I asked the bartender to make me her favorite cocktail and she did a wonderful job putting something together.

Wish this place had more seating and tables.

While the burgers are okay for a bar, there is absolutely no soul left in a frozen burger with no toppings and no fries . Overpriced frozen Pattie's.. try 2star jr burgers or even Huey's well done

It's all about saying you been there. Drinks are expensive, soul burger is mediocre (definitely not food safe) and apparently letting the place fall into total disrepair is suppose to be cool. The only way to enjoy this place is drunk.

Stopped in here for a burger. Not bad nothing special although it had a cool vibe. self served.

If you're looking for a dive bar with some history, this is your spot. The place is old but serves its purpose for some cheap drinks. They have live music at night time. The upstairs is like an old brothel with a small bar in the back.

Ok... so if CHEERS were a real spot, this would be it! I immediately felt like family!

I told them it was my birthday, and SHOTS just started to appear from everywhere! The customer service is unmatched! And I truly enjoyed it so much that I returned the next day.

Now if you're hungry, you'll get the best burger in town! But that's it.... lol... a burger (and chips). It's not a full menu, but the burger is so good that it doesn't really matter!

Check out the upstairs area. It's creepy eclectic cool! I love getting burgers here and listening to the juke box.
