I have loved this bar for YEARS!!
Will always love it and come back im sure…

The blond bartender the other night was terrible!
She was so very rude.
I put money in the jukebox and she wouldn’t turn it up just to hear it!
Not loud… I just wanted to slightly hear it, she said she didn’t want to have to raise her voice. To who? The other three people in the bar? That aren’t talking to you?
It is silent! Except the game noise!

Other than her, the place is the best!!!

Went there on a Friday night was so full of college KIDS that we could not even get service at the bar, much less play pool. Went in to enjoy an after dinner drink like we have many times before, and it's not the same place . So sad ....

Classic dive bar. Friendly servers and inexpensive prices. Decent selection of mainstream liquors and good tap selection. Tons of regulars which is a great sign. Only complaint was door to smoking patio was left wide open and got a little stinky at times. Use the bathroom before you come. At least the men’s looks like something out a serial killer movie. Part of the charm. Multiple pool tables if you want to play. Easy parking.
