BarFly's Review of Thatcher's
Rambling joint with a smalltown vibe - lots of regulars chatting it up at the long padded bar, fun, reliable cover bands (and the occasional outstanding blues act), tucked in the back room, a sometimes raucous dancefloor, and a kicked-back rear patio dark enough for necking. Good service, strong drinks. $2 well 4-7pm all 7.

Has anyone seen Bob the Hairdresser in Thatcher's lately? He use to do my hair, but hen accidently dyed it brown--it didn't go over well at home. He had the shop that was right next door to thatchers bar in 1994,1995,1996, until it burned down--no doubt Bob's chemicals had something to do with it.....
Thatcher's is a great bar for being so far out on the eastside. It is a nice relaxed place where a lot of different types of people tend to mix well. The drinks are nice and strong and they pour em in the big ol buckets on top of that. The food here is delicious (better than average for a bar). My favorite things to order are the chicken cordon bleu with their fresh cut fries. The bar tenders are very nice here and they have one of those sweet online jukeboxes so you can download all the bangers. They also have 4 pool tables. Great place.
I love Thatchers for the same reasons I love my favorite pair of shoes: comfort, unassuming comfort, and feel-good comfort. Thatchers also makes me look taller and younger. The Pabst is cold, but not pretentiously cold, the whisky is poured with a smile, but not an ingratiating sort of smile, and dammit I can smoke here. My drinking feet always seem to lead me back to this no-frills, no-hard-edges joint.
