Like everyone else in self-imposed semi-quarentine I'm bored, but The Little Woman and I managed to visit The Crowbar Pub on State Road 135 just north of SR 252 in "downtown" Trafalgar for some carry-out food. We had been inside the place a couple weeks before the Great Lockdown began, so I'll include some obervations about that here just in case you're bored enough yourself to read them.
This is a local watering hole with the usual crew of colorful regulars who cluster at one end of the bar, but it's also a sort of roadhouse: Motorcyclists from Indianapolis often make the scenic ride to Brown County State Park, and Trafalgar is a convenient waypoint to make a stop enroute to or from the park. The Crowbar accommodates them with a good-sized area in the lot reserved for cycles, and they recently added a spacious enclosed rear porch with its own bar and large roll-down garage-style window doors that can be opened when the weather is nice. The regular bar room itself is a shock to most travelers from Indy because it is so damn' clean, lacking any of the endearing/disgusting patina/dirt that most of the Big City's imbiberies (yeah, it's a made-up word) have.
Okay, I'm not bored anymore so I'll wrap it up-- the place is simple but very nice inside, the staff is generally friendly, and the food, although mostly just the standard pub grub, is very good. I did have one unusual item, a ground pork-patty sandwich that had excellent flavor. Prices are in the middle of the $$ range, so TLW and her Cheap Bastard husband were pleased. On the web at www.crowbar.pub ...Y'all go and get it!
