Just a great dive bar with fun staff and hilarious patrons
The food is good quality not much more than burgers wraps fried appetizers. The bartenders are great and friendly.
I just absolutely love this place! The people that work there, and the best bar food you can eat the only reason I gave three stars for the atmosphere, is because it's dark in there and some people don't like that. But I have no problem with it!. And they also have an outdoor area where you can sit. It's just a good relaxing atmosphere. Nothing like it was 20 years ago
The Crowd knocks it outta the park, folks. It’s a busy night…but Shawn/Sean (sp?) bartender rockstar hero takes the time to make my Uber-high-maintenance skinny margarita perfectly, with love, every time. Beyond reasonable prices…dinner for $12… jukebox jamming at a great sound level…beautifully maintained Diamond pool table… and a nice outdoor deck. The cherry? …the outdoor landscaping is gorgeous. A+ model of an establishment. Bravo.
5 Stars everyday love this place. Delicious food and great prices
Great bar went for the first time with a buddy, great atmosphere, definitely a safe place with the bouncers they have working there
Dive bar with above average food. Onion rings weren't anything special but the patty melt was damn good. I'm gonna come back to try the rest of the menu.
Really fun arcade! My kids loved it and they even let my youngest get a prise just like big brothers even though we didnt have enough points. They were really nice to my youngins so that goes a long way with any parent. Def will be back!
