This place is a solid bar, I came here on a friday night for a little nite cap around midnight and overall I had a decent time. The bar is a no frills place with three sports tvs, a juke box, at least 15 seats by the bar and some other chairs around the rest of the place. There is also shuffle board and two darts with a scoreboard which is fun. They have a great beer menu from Blue Moon to Angry Orchard, Corona, White Claw, High noon, etc. for only 5 bucks [they have at least 8 beers on tap for only $5 too]. I also saw a lot of whiskey and vodka options if you wanted to do shots or mixed drink [$7 for a shot]. The problem is the shot glasses are so small, it doesn't resemble an ounce and a half which is standard size in other bars, I felt like the plastic cup they gave me reminded me of cough medicine sizes. The bartender was super nice and friendly, he talks with most patrons and makes sure the place doesn't get too rowdy. However my fiancé felt like he was fishing for tips when he would give you a 5 dollar bill back as change. When I came there was a girls birthday with her friends and she was able to put out sandwiches and catered food of her own. I kinda felt guilty invading her space but it was nice to see that the bar lets you do your own thing. The crowd seemed fairly mixed crowd when I came, from college frat boys to young girls in their 20's or groups of men in their 30s and 40s. I did feel it was a little crowded but that seemed more based on cliques then the space itself. In terms of food, they do sell chips nuts and a tombstone pizza but there isn't much space to eat unless you sit at the actual bar. I think if this place rearranged the furniture and had an outdoor backyard they could successfully have more dining. I would definitely come back here for another night cap or to watch a sports game.

  • Chip Douglas

Love this place. I come here at least twice a week, dedicated patron here. Ricky Sundays are always the best. Tommy is a great bartender and so is Danny. Always a great time, good vibes, good people. They have shuffle board too one of the best boards. I always run into someone I know, and I just love it. Cheap drinks and they're big glasses, not getting your typical sippy cup drinks so it works. I'll always support this place. :) Much love.

HORRIBLE PLACE and there is a bar tender named Francis that has a horrible attitude and there are a lot of sick things going on in there. A lot of people go here and it used to be a great place but its turning to crap. I wouldnt be suprised to see less and less people go as time goes on. Especially with the horrible service they have now.
