What People Are Saying About Gusoline Alley

Featured Review

In Short – True bikers, folks avoiding the typical bar scene, along with a few lost prepsters create quite a mix of patrons. Gusoline houses one of the area's best jukeboxes; as the night matures and the crowd swells, however, chances are slim you'll hear your selection. Video games are wedged in the corners. The hubcaps and car parts that hang from the cheaply paneled walls are reminiscent of a dingy, yet surprisingly comfortable, basement.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Fine-looking motorcycles tend to congregate in front, as well as in front of Mr. B's on Main Street.

Great music, beer specials, mix of patrons=great night out!

You don't have to wear leather to enjoy Gusoline Alley...just be comfortable in your own skin, enjoy blending with the diverse crowd. Enjoy the great beer specials on tap, and fun with your friends. Good old-fashioned bar.

I have only drank here. Its small, smoky, cramped, the bath rooms are "O.K."

But the juke box rulz. Wear leather and a press on tattoo

  • Pros: more character than a hemmingway novel
  • Cons: small

Gusoline Alley is the bar that hasn't changed in decades- and that's a great thing. The smoke may be a little thick at times but the beer selection is nothing less than impressive. With over 100 beers in bottles and 9 more on tap, there really is something for everyone. The croud is an eclectic mix of rockers, writers, bikers, executives, hipsters, artists, preps, punks and everything in between. Oh yeah, and the jukebox rocks.

  • Pros: cheap drinks, great jukebox, cool atmosphere
