W.Va. Hot Dog Joint Review

The Pour House

Charleston

The Pour House Sports Bar is located near the intersection of Rt. 25 and Big Tyler Road in a building that began as a garden center and then became a church before its most recent tenant moved in. It is a typical sports bar with a few TVs tuned to ESPN and cigarette smoke hanging heavily in the air even when no one is smoking. It has typical sports bar hot dogs, too.

In case you don't know what a typical sports bar hot dog is, here's a primer. Sports bar W.Va. hot dogs are:

1. Slow- The chili is kept in the fridge and has to be microwaved.

2. Basic - Lowest common denominator slaw, buns and weenies.

3. Cheap - 1.25 including chips.

Not much to else to say.
