We love the lounge, Amy the bartender makes us feel at home. It's a comfy spot with fun game nights, cold drinks and awesome people.

Best neighborhood bar hands down!!! Everyone is like family and so welcoming — whether you’re there every week or it’s your first visit, Amy and Todd go over and above to greet and serve their patrons. From special holiday events and bus trips, to their recurring live music and karaoke, this place brings it when it comes to a local favorite hot spot. Great drink prices and fun shot concoctions don’t hurt either. And where else can you bring your own food in to enjoy or door dash in?! Love this whole vibe and feel like family every visit.

Place smelt dirty as soon as you walked in definitely has some regulars who come in and drink too much. Drinks were trash only come here for beer or if you want a strange encounter.

This a hidden gem in Anderson. I literally don't even think they have a sign. But very cool little spot on the east side. Not a big place but big energy!

Excellent place to hangout! Always something fun going on! Prices are fair and the service backs it all up! Amy, Jen, Kelly, Stephanie, and Kerri are just the most awesome people and unbelievable bartenders to boot! I love the social environment and the casual fun style this place offers! Not to mention the owner Alex is down to earth and takes it all in stride! He takes care of his staff and customers! We love this bar!

Loved this little place. Although they don't serve food they had good deals with local restaurants that delivered and had a good discount! Had a great selection of drinks, super nice staff. I can tell this is a beloved location for many people as there was a family atmosphere between many patrons. The energy during the reds game was infectious and I don't even like sports!

We came by for lunch and there are no hours posted. Website says they were open but the door was locked and none of the phone numbers work. Won’t be back. Thank you for getting back to me yes online the Beechmont location has incorrect information.
