Bruce's Bar
The 1st Street bar that has carried the Bruce's name since 1957, known for Rocky Mountain oysters, with live music on Saturday nights and karaoke on Wednesdays.
· by the published hours
Bruce Ruth bought the Severance Recreation Hall in 1957 and renamed it after himself; the bar on 1st Street still builds its reputation on Rocky Mountain oysters, served alongside steaks, burgers, wings, chicken sandwiches and salads, and there are a pool table, pinball and arcade games. Its live music and events page (brucesbar123.com/severance-bruce-s-bar-live-music) lists live music every Saturday night from 7 to 10 pm, karaoke on Wednesdays from 7 to 10 pm, music bingo every other Monday at 6:30 pm and line dancing on the last Thursday of the month from 7 to 8 pm. The bar takes reservations and books parties.
