From Kansas, 100% accurate. We had a regular that had been going there everyday for 11 years. In that time heâs 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 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 :)
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.

I was born and raised in a small-ass town in Michigan. Iâm 26, so Iâve been frequenting there local bar for a while. This is 100% accurate.

Wisconsin law says you can drink at a bar when underage only if parent is present and approved and also if the establishment owner is OK with it. I love Wisconsin. Lived in Illinois all my life and I wish I would've moved up here sooner. S/O from 262
Iâm from Denmark and we have a small town local bar like that. Everyone knows everybody. And if we havenât 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 doesnât 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.
@@andrewrogers5962 not rude at all, It's just the atmosphere and the vibes. Starting the night off pre drinking at someone or at a bar and then go out to a club until maybe 6am.

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.

Was at a hotel bar with a bunch of pipeline guys. They drank it dry of miller light so one of them went to the nearest convenience store and bought another 30-rack.

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. đ
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"
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. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł

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.
My dad was born and raised in a small town in Minnesota. Growing up, we'd visit them once in a while and the local watering hole "Billy's" was EXACTLY LIKE THIS. As an adult this is the most accurate rendition of that bar I've seen on video.
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.
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 theyâre missing!
@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.

My grandmother owned a bar in a small town in Illinois, this is so fucking accurate it's not even funny. This brings back a lot of memories. Love this channel. The monthly bar tab is fucking true as shit.
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.
I was living and working in a mining town. This is way too fucking accurate. All the miners and everybody else would show up at Joe's Tavern (the cheapest of 4 bars, or the casino but that's only if we got a little extra on payday) on Friday and the weekends. Getting your own beer, the dog, the paper towels, the small town shit talk. Amazing.
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.
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!
Lol you think this is an American thing? I'm in Europe, we do the fuckin same but with some different details. The only thing I missed here is the customer helping out with connecting the beer tap. And nope, we didn't get it from America at all, people would laugh if you'd say that.
I live in rural missouri. I would literally serve customers who wondered in when the bartender was out back lol. My whole friend group basically ran the bar for free. Great deal for the owner. We bought drinks and served customers and never got a paycheck đ
I used to go camping in the Upper Peninsula a lot and weâd 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!

I'm đ đ and spent time in southern Argentina on an island called Teirra Del Fuego in a small town called Rio Grande. This was the scene almost to the T; bartender, servers would call it a night and myself and a few local would just keep tab on what we drank and pay the next day.

"We had 15 beers, huh? I don't think I have 22 bucks on me right now."
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. đ
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?
Plot twist: Baxter isn't a dog he's just a country boy with a kink
Still a good boi either way

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
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.
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
my favorite thing about the midwest is the super casual kindness and comfort we have with each other. like the paper towels thing in a bar, a customer saying they could help out like itâs no big deal iS SO M I D W E S T E R N
I used to take the trash out at a spot in a neighborhood bar in Cleveland. Itâs just how it goes.
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.
My dad was born and raised in a small town in Minnesota. Growing up, we'd visit them once in a while and the local watering hole "Billy's" was EXACTLY LIKE THIS. As an adult this is the most accurate rendition of that bar I've seen on video.
Iâve lived in Fargo, ND my whole life. Yes. We talk like this. We say âopeâ at least 50 times a day.
Christian Hustad haha Iâm southern Manitoba, so close to you and itâs so different đ€Łđ€Łđ
We say âehâ or âhuhâ 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 practically raised in a veterans bar due to being raised by my grandpa and this is 110% correct
Yes!!!
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
"Can we get a few for the ditch?"
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.
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 theyâre 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.
Iâm from the south, and this shows how âCountry is Country wide!â
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.
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

This was more of a documentary than a comedy bit.
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.
These sketches need to be a TV show. It's unique, high quality comedy.
â$300 is nothing compared to last monthâ 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
This is wholesome a.f. actually, I want to hang out with these guys.
The unwrapped jerky out of the coat is spot on
My grandmother owned a bar in a small town in Illinois, this is so fucking accurate it's not even funny. This brings back a lot of memories. Love this channel. The monthly bar tab is fucking true as shit.
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!

Lmao, that looks like Paul Ryan in the back!
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. Itâs 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.
The "bar dog" gets me everytime.
Dead on. Dont forget the high school reunion every holiday.
It's SO True. Everyone is a member of the "family". It's GREAT!
I love the 2.50 cents for a 12 inch pizza and the guy double takes on the price hahaha. Very well done.
I was living and working in a mining town. This is way too fucking accurate. All the miners and everybody else would show up at Joe's Tavern (the cheapest of 4 bars, or the casino but that's only if we got a little extra on payday) on Friday and the weekends. Getting your own beer, the dog, the paper towels, the small town shit talk. Amazing.
Love those small-town Taverns with the soaked in beer for years' smell.
âI think that extra hour is worth it!â
âIâm gonna say youâre right.â đ
The new guy was a great addition!
Being fed homemade beef jerky from someoneâs pocket is my love language.
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.
Itâs weird how this is still accurate in a small farming town in the UK! Haa đŽó §ó ąó ·ó Źó łó ż đŹđ§
Iâm from Florida. I spent 30 years in bars like that . That video is 100% spot on . Thanks
Ahh yes, "your beer is basically water not like this Busch light"
When youâre able to go behind the bar and get yourself a drink, you know youâve made it
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!
Americana, this is why I served in the Army, to preserve this!
Lol you think this is an American thing? I'm in Europe, we do the fuckin same but with some different details. The only thing I missed here is the customer helping out with connecting the beer tap. And nope, we didn't get it from America at all, people would laugh if you'd say that.
"300 dollars is nothing compared to last month" đđ
I live in rural missouri. I would literally serve customers who wondered in when the bartender was out back lol. My whole friend group basically ran the bar for free. Great deal for the owner. We bought drinks and served customers and never got a paycheck đ
From California, to Texas, to Florida, Minnesota and New York, the one thing that unites us all is the similarity of our small town bars

Brandon Erickson I am aware lol

I am from Sweden and this seems like a place worth moving to the US for.
Almost everywhere in Wisconsin is like this
This is the type of United States life our media and liberals are trying to kill
@@petewill1136 youâre not lying
There's probably these kind of bars in Sweden too. I'm from small-town Finland and I recognized almost everything in this video haha
đ€ŁđLove being from a small town đâ€ïž. This is spot-on!! đșđČ
I used to go camping in the Upper Peninsula a lot and weâd 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
While everything is definitely accurateâŠitâs the âcan I leave this money here for Rick? He helped me snowplow. Youâll give it to him? Alrightâ that really hits home lol. Done this so many times for people at the local bar.
New England bartender here, and this is so accurate đ â€
Nice to see Paul Ryan staying busy after leaving Congress đ
He left, didn't stay to fight for his beliefs, gave his job to a browner nose, became a drunk
@MrRedberd his beliefs sucked. Koch bros little boy puppet. Open borders and corporate giveaways.
I'm đ đ and spent time in southern Argentina on an island called Teirra Del Fuego in a small town called Rio Grande. This was the scene almost to the T; bartender, servers would call it a night and myself and a few local would just keep tab on what we drank and pay the next day. The pub was in a small cosy Inn, the front desk attendant would simply lock up after we left. Great people, great times, 2009-2010. Place; Posada De Los Sauces.
I really want to have a few beers with these guys for real.
