    Triple Tree Tavern

    2nd Street in Clifton

    The Triple Tree Tavern can get absolutely packed on a Friday or Saturday night. They typically feature groups like "The Goodman Band." I go there for old time's sake. My mom and grandpa both grew up in that building. Decades and Decades ago, it used to be the old post office, and my great-grandpa was the Postmaster. I go there for a chance to enjoy a beer and think back on old times.
