Corner - Liberty

My very 1st memory of the Corner Bar is from the early 70 's and my Mom would pull up in front and tell me to go in and get your father. My father was usually annoyed at having to leave his shuffleboard game, loaded jukebox or conversation with the equally loaded good ole boys. The bartender would often threaten to throw me down the heating vent behind the bar; which I believed to be a portal to the Underworld; unless I went and told my mother to come back in a while. Just like my mother leaving for a while and returning, so did I. I left Liberty and the Corner Bar before I could legally drink and then in the early 2000 's I ended up back in Liberty for a decade. I remember going back the first time as an adult and being a little trepidatious about entering since I had heard plenty of stories about it attracting the wrong crowd mostly from judgmental Country Club types. I now understand that I am the wrong crowd because some of the most fun I 've ever had at a bar has been here. I 've reconnected with long lost friends, made lots of new friends, owned the shuffleboard table, played a lot of great and obscure stuff on the juke box and have had some of the best conversations ever all in this perfectly classic Dive Bar. It 's been a decade since I have lived in the neighborhood and now I only am able to get back for a fun night about once a year. My visit last weekend offered a lot of newer and younger clientele, but still a few older regulars but most importantly the same welcoming spirit of comradery. I hope The Corner Bar can hold out for a few more future generations.

Fun shot and beer bar. Fair drink prices. Good service. Pool tables. Good jukebox selection. Friendly owner. It ain't fancy, but it'll do the job.

A true local bar right off the Square in liberty. What was once a little hole in the wall place where you could get a cold beer has now turned into a cozy little place where you can get truly home cooked food as well as a cold beer. Plenty of TVs to watch the game, Shuffle board, pool table, and a jukebox that plays anything from classic country to Motown.

A classic, down-to-earth dive bar in downtown Liberty. It was moderately busy inside. We got some Coors Light cans and decided to chill for a while, playing some shuffleboard and then some Silver Strike. Liberty's most well-known homeless guy came in and said hello to everyone while we played. The men's room here is the epitome of a dive bar restroom. It has enough fixtures that theoretically three people could be in here at once, but there's barely room enough for even 1 person to get in and still be able to close the door. As far as dives go, this is a good one. Good bar games, good food, and nice people.

Great find. Stopped in while attending a car show. It was a Saturday Patty was serving a pork chop dinner. The atmosphere is perfectly divey. Food was amazing. People friendly welcoming. Definitely will be back.
