First on the list is Millersville's Mousetrap Bar & Grill, situated at 5565 N. Keystone Ave. With four stars out of 81 reviews on Yelp, the sports bar and traditional American spot has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an inexpensive option.
We looked there to learn more about Mousetrap Bar & Grill, which has been around for 25 years, started out as a small pub and liquor store and gained fame in the 70s and 80s for its legendary Cajun nights and John's Famous Stew, which is still on the menu today.

Castleton's The Free Spirit, located at 6155 E. 86th St., Suite B, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the cheap sports bar, gastropub and music venue four stars out of 53 reviews.
Yelper Kyle W. noted, "My wife and I split nachos, wings and the PB&J burger. The wings were excellent. We decided on signature Singapore sauce, which was awesome! ... The wings were big, crispy and juicy. The burger was excellent, too. The Free Spirit is a great dive bar!"
