Joe's - Ligonier

This bar feels like a transitional space. It has a modest exterior and features a typical dive bar atmosphere at the front, complete with a smoking area. The bartender is incredibly friendly, and the drinks are very affordable. As for the bathroom...

Joe's is the quintessential smoky dive, complete with bent barstools and an impressive collection of preserved animals from African and other hunts. You don't come across that every day...

This place is really cool! It features a unique taxidermy museum. I just wish they had a better selection of vodka; otherwise, we would have stayed longer.

I hardly know how to describe this place—it's one you really have to experience for yourself! The bar itself is quite nice, but they only accept cash (hence the four-star rating). Interestingly, the owner of this bar previously worked for National Geographic, where he hunted animals for taxidermy. So what did he do with all those taxidermy animals? He opened a bar and decorated it with them, just like anyone would! It's a fascinating mix of great, sad, and strange. Definitely worth a visit, especially since there's no entrance fee!

This restaurant is a charming little spot tucked away in a quaint and lovely city. At first glance, it may appear to be a total dive. However, this unassuming exterior conceals a fascinating surprise. In the back building, on the second level, you'll find one of the largest displays of taxidermy I've ever encountered. Best of all, there's no entry fee to see it! I do recommend buying a drink while you're there.
