I came up here from Clearwater Fl to go camping out on the lake . Found this place sloans tap house . The Owner for 41 years is Jim Howard the son of the legendary coach Frank Howard . Jim is truly a good ol boy with interesting stories . I really love the story about the good luck rock the cleamson team touch before each game. They only have one beer on tap and its good and cold for the price of 1 dollar. the place is a dump but it ads to it . So feel free to take a sharpie to sign the walls.
