I missed this, too and am sorry I did. But in the interest of future searches...I'll chime in with my local's opinion of these bars:
The Spring Inn: more of an old school neighborhood tavern than the others. Place where you're most likely to find the town imbiber. Food consists of lunch and an occasional dinner. Very local. Most divey
Riley's: More sports bar like than the others, neighborhood-y with a crowd more in their 30s
Doc Ryan's: Family friendly, you'll find the local softball team here eating burgers after a game but in the evening more adult and all adult after the dinner hour. No kids allowed solo--parents required since this is still a bar that serves food. Cheap daily food specials. Attracts a lunch crowd, too. Some games in the back room. You're likely to run into local politicians here.
and Fitz's: College-age over imbibers on weekends, serves food. Loud. Used to be excessively smokey before the ban.
