Located near the Lakeville Highway, at first glance Ernie's Bar appears to be no more than a defunct auto/garage shop with a vintage Chrysler sticking out its front. Once inside, it is a cool dive bar that attracts a lot of bikers making rest-stops from the highway.

Sit out on the patio and have a cold one as you talk shop with bikers.
