Good drinks, good food, friendly locals, a place to smoke, and add off track betting, I had to be dragged out of there, would still be there now.

“ Second time visiting Oldfather, my husband and I came and had some drinks one night last year. Today on our day off before washing our laundry nextdoor, my husband said "let's get something to eat Oldfather." Both visits had great service, atmosphere and great food today. We both decided to start w/the combo platter and said we'd also order something else but it was very filling, delicious and great presentation. I really don't care for mushrooms or onions but ate the fried mushrooms and onion rings had great flavor! ”
“ Wow! What a great place to grab a drink, relax, listen to music on random and be able to chat with friends old and new. You want to meet new friendly people? Yeah me too come to the Old Father Inn on Ina and meet friend bartenders, the chefs that make one heck of a hot wings and listen music of all kinds that will definitely get you pumped up to tear up a rug or in this case tile. Pool tables, dart boards, sports on tv and video games. ”
