Okay, we’re hitting the road tonight with Jim/Vern Damico and the destination is Cathy’s Cue & Brew on Route 29 near Chillicothe. Their address is listed as Chillicothe, but it’s before you actually hit the city’s sign, so we’ll call it “near” Chillicothe. So there!

Bar Number 107: Cathy’s Cue & Brew, Wednesday, April 29, 2026
We’re going in through the back entrance, so we’ll take a night shot of the front of the place on the way out. There’s Jim/Vern opening the door and leading the way in to our 107th bar of this fizzy journey!
They have a nice, full-sized bar in here and Jim has already planted himself in a seat over there. Let’s go and join him at the bar and we’ll let the evening begin!
Trevor was the friendly bartender on duty and here he is serving me up an ice-cold can of Budweiser and now the evening has truly begun!
In addition to being a wonderful bartender, Trevor is also a talented woodworking artist. Check out his facecrack page by clicking here: Barefoot Wood Art.
I took a photo of Jim/Vern at the bar, but it either got deleted by accident or I didn’t click hard enough because it wasn’t in with the photos. So we’ll rerun this shot of him from our stop at Haynes On Main. He hasn’t changed a bit since then, I promise!
As you can see, the back of the bar is loaded with fun items to look at, but three things caught my eye back there…
I love these miniature motorcycle sculptures back there, very cool!
They have a half a dozen beers on tap and Trevor snapped this photo of them for me. Great photo, Trevor, thanks!
Here’s a longshot of the bar from the other end of it.
They have four pool tables here in this area opposite the bar. They truly live up to the name: Cue and Brew!
There’s tables in the back corner of the bar and gaming machines behind them if you’re in a gambling mood.
There’s a room back here behind the pool tables, let’s go in and see what’s inside of it!
Wow, this is a big room with tables and chairs, a nice shuffleboard table and two dart boards and a game next them that I’m not sure what it is! I could’ve inspected it closer, but I wasn’t that curious.
Okay, one last shot of the bar in here and if you look real closely you can see Jim/Vern staring at us from the end of the bar.
He’s the lone person at the bar, looks like he scared everyone else away!
I took the night time shot of the front of the building before we hit the road back home.
Thanks to Jim/Vern for driving and hanging out, always fun to have him along!
