Pretty clean local place with cheap drinks. I haven't tried their food. It's definitely a dive, which I generally like. It would be great if they could carry anything gluten free besides garbage angry orchard and seltzers. One good cider on tap would be rad, 3 daughters is local. They have pool and darts and it looks like they have some weekly events.

Jim is excellent. Not so much for the evening bartender She liked to wait on customers that did bottles or cans. Not a polite friendly person.

Really good people and bartenders. I love this place. There’s a couple people that are rude and obnoxious but don’t you have them in every bar. You try to be nice but that doesn’t work, by the end of the day you can’t blame the bar.

It was my first time there. I walked into a very relaxed "hole in the wall" place. They had a full liquor bar👍🏽. It went from regulars hanging (7PM)out to a full party bar after dark (9PM). People were playing pool and multiple electronic dart boards, a random person asked me to join in just to talk and chill. I came alone and met some good people. Every sport was on the TV from gymnastics to the football playoffs. The crowd and service were awesome. I will 100% make this the place to be once a week.

I used to like this place and came weekly for music bingo until New Year's Eve when some drunken loser psycho threatened me repeatedly and the staff at this place did nothing oh I'm sorry actually they did something they blamed me for being there and doing nothing I literally sat there not speaking a word while this person screamed obscenities and violence at me telling me he was going to jump over the bar and attack me and the staff did nothing when I tell the person who was verbally threatening me repeatedly let's go outside tired of you screaming at this bar like you want to fight me so let's go outside and handle this stuff then we get outside and the staff decides the follow us and the man instantly pulls out a weapon I walk away cuz I'm not about to fight someone who pulls out a weapon somehow the staff decides I'm the aggressor in this matter after sitting there doing nothing while this person threatened me and the staff didn't do their jobs in any way then they decide to come tell me how I'm the bad guy in this situation and how I'm in trouble for them not doing their jobs and getting rid of a person who is threatening your customers so somehow I'm the bad guy in this situation and just the way the bar back was speaking to me made me feel like if you went there and got raped they would somehow blame you and I'm not the only person who felt that way cuz the people who were with me said the exact same thing I will never go back to this bar ever and neither should you they do not give a any sorts of craps the people spending money they will let you be threatened and do nothing about it and then blame you for it don't go here and the worst part about it is that I told the owner of the bar what happened through a friend who works at the bar and the owner did nothing even though there is literal video proof his staff sat there while someone was threatened and almost assaulted in in his bar but does nothing to the staff in any way that's not a place I trust to get drunk at anymore if the owner doesn't want to do anything that's not worth wasting my time and my money going to that bar I will not go somewhere have someone threatened me and then be told I'm the bad guy for sitting there and not saying anything I'm trying to get the stuff to do their jobs so somehow I'm at all no I won't go to places like that it's not worth it
