The point of this place is to get drunk and socialize, and you can absolutely accomplish that here. They've ruined the atmosphere with the stage they added a few years back for bands. I know the intention was good, but bands could fit a smaller footprint without the stage, and it's a single room that absolutely does not need elevation. We played there for years, and having room for people to dance made the experience wonderful. Those days are gone.
Wonderful place to listen to live music! Staff was great, fast and friendly service!
Grabbed a couple drinks with some coworkers. Great atmosphere, very nice bartender, overall solid little place. Definitely will be returning.
Nice bartender. Pull tabs and pool. Awesome outside area. Well poured drinks.
The vibes were really amazing, and the drinks were flowing. There's 2 pool tables, intimate kinda of setting. Opened late night and I just loved, loved loved the band that was playing. ATM inside aswell with a jukebox.
What a dive bar should be! Strong drinks and crappy service unless you’re a local. Expect an obvious glare from the patrons if you order anything other than a beer. I’ll be back!
Small town bar with good prices and nice staff! Karaoke on Thursdays is always a good time as well!
