Our Story
The Looney Bin started with a simple idea: build a local spot that serves honest food, pours great beer, and brings people together.
Driven by an appreciation for Mayview’s close-knit community, we created an atmosphere that perfectly balances dive bar authenticity with diner-quality food.
What started with a small menu has grown into Mayview's go-to destination. Today, we employ locals who know the regulars by name and the newcomers by their favorite drinks.
