From Kansas, 100% accurate. We had a regular that had been going there everyday for 11 years. In that time he’s only missed a handful of days (funerals/hospital etc). They made a button on the POS system for him, so that anytime prices went up, his drink stayed the same price from 11 years ago.
@Bill Anderson Yeah, but then again.... lot's of people out there aren't content with simple existences and they end up living them. Might as well be content with your life.
I was born and raised in a small-ass town in Michigan. I’m 26, so I’ve been frequenting there local bar for a while. This is 100% accurate. From the dog in the bar all the way to serving yourself bc the bartender is outside smoking. The best part is, everyone is so cool about it so we can keep doing that. Everyone is honest, pays what they owe, and I think it’s great.
@@michaelamarshalll was responding to JoeG who referenced ethnostates. So in fact, someone other than me did inject race. And I merely pointed out that it was not race but the ability to earn trust and respect that results in receiving trust and respect. Which for a racist is hard to believe.
I used to own a bar in a small town in the northern parts of Sweden. I could literally leave the bar for an hour, and when I came back the beer was gone and my cash register was full of cash. Sometimes I came back and by regulars was busy sweeping the floor. No dog though, but there was a big black stray cat that decided to move in. He had his own spot on a table in a corner. Good ol' times :)
From michigan, i make jerky, and I have a carhartt that I've def handed jerky out of at the bar. I was tagged in this video on Facebook multiple times 😂😂

When my aunt and uncle visited my parents' bar they were shocked SHOCKED that people came to the bar almost every day at the same time. And when they saw the drink poured and ready by the time they sat down they almost lost their minds. And trying to explain the rules of bar dice to them was next to impossible.
I’m from Denmark and we have a small town local bar like that. Everyone knows everybody. And if we haven’t seen one of the locals for a few days we call if he/she is alright. Every person comes in at different times of the day. We help the bar owner whenever she needs help. Refilling the cooler etc or if it is something heavy, she always repays with a round even though she doesn’t have to, but it is her way to say thank you for the help. If she needs to leave for 5 min she always tells us to take care of the bar until she gets back, which we then do. We know how to operate the cashier. I love that little place. It is my free space where friends meet and come together. God bless that little place and every people there.
The small town where my mom is from in NE MN is exactly like this. Danish was spoken openly until the 1970’s. They still have Danish on the town sign. If you go ten miles down the road you’ll run into the Swedes and the next one just across the border in WI has the Germans. It’s the Scandinavian - European immigrants that populate these more remote places to this day that make these bars like this. Still love the Aebelskevers and Danish venison sausage served with oven roasted prunes. Mmmmmm and then beer with the Vikings/Packers game while petting the bar dog!!
That's me with the four bars a regular. The bar that's a block away from where I work serves me first without me having to ask for what I want even if there are people ahead of me. Helps that I tip good which I only do when the service is excellent and the staff doesn't give me any attitude.
Spent a week in a small ass town, and this was spot fucking on. I legit changed the paper towels, had a wood token, bartender was a friend and let me get a beer on her smoke break and got yelled at for using a cue that was claimed. Well done guys.

Back in the day when I was a waitress, my brain was completely ingrained where all the beverage areas were. When I left for greener pastures I'd go back with family to eat. I'd have the entire table served drinks, took the salad/appetizer orders, be hunting in the dry storage for those flipping club crackers that everyone wanted before I remembered I didn't work there anymore. It's been over two decades and anytime someone says they want something at a restaurant, I automatically get up. 🤣🤣🤣

@Lex Bright Raven yeah I'm sure you couldn't get along with hard working people that aren't interested in your ignorance. I'm more than happy knowing people like you will never live near me.
I was basically raised in a bar by my parents in Colorado, and *man* this is accurate. Even with them talking (via yelling) at the guy a couple tables away. Only thing thats missing is when there are a lot of regulars and another regular walks in, big shouts of "HEY! THERE THEY ARE!" and what not
Years ago went camping near a small tourist town in SW MN, we skipped the tourist bar and went to the town bar for drinks. A local at the bar kind of side-eyed us and asked, "Who's boy are you?" trying to figure out how we fit in. The answer was that we were camping on farm land and the farmer was a friend of the local brother in law. That opened everything up for us, instant friends to everyone in the bar.
Dont forget Duck Pin Bowling. Then you leave the pin setters a big tip cause you got drunk and were basically throwing clay balls at them the last 2 hours.
Can confirm, lived in the Midwest for 5 years. Although when someone asks if you have a nipple on your beer, you must drink your beer until you have less than the other guy. Then call him out for slacking. Also you can get blackout of drunk and forget to pay the tab, but bartenders don't sweat because they'll know you'll be back soon. 😉
An Idaho bar I go to is JUST like this!! Things get busy, the Old Guard steps in. Wiping tables, emptying ashtrays, TP, etc...the paper towels, Ive done that!
I used to go camping in the Upper Peninsula a lot and we’d go to a small town bar to enjoy a cheeseburger and beers after days of beans and dehydrated meals. This is so accurate! I miss the Midwest sometimes!

Move there now. Work online. Trust me
Small town life is great. But when you know everyone in town, you love to hate and hate to love. And they are all at the bar by 2
So accurate! When I moved from Wisconsin to indiana, I asked when does the bar buy a drink? The bartender said "what?" I miss the small town bar love up north.
Troy Linden the bars up here in superior Wisconsin always buy ya at least one
What? Say more.
"Can we get a few for the ditch?"
I’m from Florida. I spent 30 years in bars like that . That video is 100% spot on . Thanks
These sketches need to be a TV show. It's unique, high quality comedy.
Plot twist: Baxter isn't a dog he's just a country boy with a kink
Still a good boi either way
@@sniper1k223 🙊🤣🤣
Lmfao
Watched Comedy Central about a week ago and learned what "Puppy Play" was....and hot damn did I learn that the world is worse than I thought....not because of war, poverty, or famine....but because there is such a thing as "Puppy Play"
DIDNT SEE THAT COMING AHA
This makes me want to explore small town America even more. I've only visited a tiny portion of Colorado, but I want to go back to the states some day for a road trip for sure.
Come up north in Wisco dude. It’s so goddamn relaxing
Lol Colorado isn't Midwestern anymore stick to Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri for the full experience.
@@rc59191 That's the great plains, not the midwest.
@@BackseatStudios the great plains are part of the Midwest ask any geography teacher.
@@rc59191 they may be considered that, but as a trucker, they're completely different areas.
"We had 15 beers, huh? I don't think I have 22 bucks on me right now."
Lmao, that looks like Paul Ryan in the back!
This should be a tourism ad for my hometown! This is how life was meant to be, wish everyone could have this life, but most folk have no clue what they’re missing!
I don't know, I get the sense that these guys seem content on the outside, but deep down, feel like they are trapped and their lives are hollow.
The unwrapped jerky out of the coat is spot on
The "bar dog" gets me everytime.
It's SO True. Everyone is a member of the "family". It's GREAT!
I have been bartending for over a decade in the midwest and every bit of this is true.
But there was no roll a day !! Only thing they missed
Is it a very pleasant job with this kind of vibe?
This is wholesome a.f. actually, I want to hang out with these guys.
“$300 is nothing compared to last month” brooo I wish monthly tabs were a thing!!
Get yourself to the right places, and they are...
They are real in some places
@@Blazin130 They tend to disappear the more 'diverse' the area becomes though.
@@vk6832 lol
@@vk6832 lol true. "Diverse" customers don't pay'em
I was practically raised in a veterans bar due to being raised by my grandpa and this is 110% correct
Yes!!!
Dead on. Dont forget the high school reunion every holiday.
🤣😂Love being from a small town 💕❤️. This is spot-on!! 🇺🇲
This was more of a documentary than a comedy bit.
Back in the day when I was a waitress, my brain was completely ingrained where all the beverage areas were.
When I left for greener pastures I'd go back with family to eat. I'd have the entire table served drinks, took the salad/appetizer orders, be hunting in the dry storage for those flipping club crackers that everyone wanted before I remembered I didn't work there anymore.
It's been over two decades and anytime someone says they want something at a restaurant, I automatically get up.
🤣🤣🤣
AMAZING....Brings back memories...I miss those days...Thank you for making me cry....
Cop: So your alibi is you were at the bar between the times of 1:00pm and 3:00pm is that correct?
Midwesterner: Uhh yea was just goin through a couple beers yah kno?
Cop: *Nods to the other cop* Bring her in
Midwesterner's Wife: *Walks in* I KNEW it! Suckin up lites with the boys instead a' prayin to your lord and savior weren't 'cha?
Ya Betcha, yaaaa
GOLD 🙌🏽
I’m from the south, and this shows how “Country is Country wide!”
Grew up in a town of 800 on the west coast and lived in the south. It is country wide when you get away from the garbage cities.
@Lex Bright Ravenyeah, you city people are doing such wonderful things.
@Lex Bright Raven lol what. As if country people arent some of the most trustworthy people on earth.
@Lex Bright Raven cities smell like shit and the people are rude.
@Lex Bright Raven yeah I'm sure you couldn't get along with hard working people that aren't interested in your ignorance. I'm more than happy knowing people like you will never live near me.
I'm from rural Nebraska and this is 100% spot on.
“I think that extra hour is worth it!”
“I’m gonna say you’re right.” 😂
I’ve lived in Fargo, ND my whole life. Yes. We talk like this. We say “ope” at least 50 times a day.
Christian Hustad haha I’m southern Manitoba, so close to you and it’s so different 🤣🤣👍
We say “eh” or “huh” at that same rate
I'm from Croatia and I say op (which is basically similiar to ope in its context, but we have op and opa) same amount of times a day :D
What is Ope?
@@swetavyas As far as I know, since similiar saying is used here, it's everything depending of how you say it :D
I was basically raised in a bar by my parents in Colorado, and *man* this is accurate. Even with them talking (via yelling) at the guy a couple tables away. Only thing thats missing is when there are a lot of regulars and another regular walks in, big shouts of "HEY! THERE THEY ARE!" and what not
Years ago went camping near a small tourist town in SW MN, we skipped the tourist bar and went to the town bar for drinks. A local at the bar kind of side-eyed us and asked, "Who's boy are you?" trying to figure out how we fit in. The answer was that we were camping on farm land and the farmer was a friend of the local brother in law. That opened everything up for us, instant friends to everyone in the bar.
Love those small-town Taverns with the soaked in beer for years' smell.
This is really good. Thanks for posting.... (I'm a Californian who lived in the upper midwest for a few years. You guys nailed it.)
The new guy was a great addition!
I love the 2.50 cents for a 12 inch pizza and the guy double takes on the price hahaha. Very well done.
I lived in a small town in North Dakota for a few years. This is spot on!
This transcends boarders, Saskatchewan, and Alberta like this to a T, just more swears n darts eh boys
Fuck yeah bud. Thats how we do er
Fuck Canada.
Ohh we play darts guy!
@@duncanmcdougall9787 She's in prison, for shooting a Canadian. And atleast our milk doesn't come in bags you freaks.
@@Kromsmitesyou if you dont like bagged milk youre not gonna like ceasers bucko
Only thing missing is them playing the same 15-20 soft rock songs from the late 70s-mid 80s on the jukebox every single day.
Good deal! Lol and changing the paper towels himself. So accurate.
This should be required material for anyone visiting any small bar in Wisconsin.
100%
It's the same in small towns in Oklahoma.
Dont forget Duck Pin Bowling. Then you leave the pin setters a big tip cause you got drunk and were basically throwing clay balls at them the last 2 hours.
I like these guys. Coming from Minnesota, I can relate.
Being fed homemade beef jerky from someone’s pocket is my love language.
Can confirm, lived in the Midwest for 5 years. Although when someone asks if you have a nipple on your beer, you must drink your beer until you have less than the other guy. Then call him out for slacking. Also you can get blackout of drunk and forget to pay the tab, but bartenders don't sweat because they'll know you'll be back soon. 😉
Can confirm this is the same in my local small town pub in the Netherlands.
"I'm gonna say yer right" - the most Midwest saying ever 👌
Ahh yes, "your beer is basically water not like this Busch light"
New England bartender here, and this is so accurate 😂 ❤
I can't believe I've lived my whole UA-cam life and never seen these videos before. Subscribed
I really want to have a few beers with these guys for real.
Arctic blast going on Let’s all go to the bar
An Idaho bar I go to is JUST like this!! Things get busy, the Old Guard steps in. Wiping tables, emptying ashtrays, TP, etc...the paper towels, Ive done that!
I used to go camping in the Upper Peninsula a lot and we’d go to a small town bar to enjoy a cheeseburger and beers after days of beans and dehydrated meals. This is so accurate! I miss the Midwest sometimes!
This is so accurate I can barely notice the punchlines. They put WORK into this and damn did they get it right
"We had 15 beers.. i dont think i have $22 on me" lmao
"300 dollars is nothing compared to last month" 😂😂
