Courtney is a great bartender. Had she not worked there I would have never come in. I live an hr and a half away and I have been there 4 times now.

I love karaoke Tuesdays, the bar is very nice and John (bar tender) was excellent, however, there were 2 people that seemed rather discriminatory (the Dj and this person with a white shirt). The 2 spoke very badly of other people and also of us for being different. If the bar is exclusive to certain types of people then there should be a sign on the door stating this. I felt discriminated from their very rude comments.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself there. When I first showed there were three rowdy people but from what I now know as (the regulars) got them out of there very swiftly. From there on out it was smooth sailing and Good times. Didn't meet one person I couldn't have a conversation with that I did not enjoy. The bartender John is on par with knowing his drinks with a very Swift polite delivery. All the way down to the gentleman at the pool tables (where most arguments start) were upright gentleman. Everybody there was of great morale. I am for sure returning again.
