Great place to hang out for a dive bar. The atmosphere is usually fun, depending on the bartender. Love Kim & Elena! There are lots of regulars. I've been drinking here going on 14 years, although these days I avoid Friday days. There is no food, the only thing they have there are small bags of chips. Occasionally jerky & popcorn. But, they do a lot of potluck for holidays and birthdays and the Chiiieeefs!
Fun local dive bar. No food but they have a few snacks for purchase, sometimes coffee cake next to the free coffee station and a popcorn machine (not always in use). Couple dart boards in the back, a golf game, and a gambling card game on the bar as well. Covered deck in the back. Not a lot of options for beers, but good specials and fair prices in general. They make their own moonshine, and it is DELICIOUS. Apple Pie and Peach are king (to be fair I didn't try the other 2), peach tastes like fresh peach nectar. Highly recommend.
Have not been there for years and stopped in for a couple brews. The atmosphere was good with the regs and all went well. Prices are decent too. 😎👍
Your one stop shop. Wow. Let me tell you. This place slaps. Shelly is a damn queen! Robin as well! - say no more. It opens at 6am and you’re a god damn gem of a prism. I’ll be here until midnight tonight if you want to paaaarty. Bless the child 🙏
No Food, but it's a great bar where you can bring your own food in. Good folks here.
Super divey local place. Nothing fancy. Cheap drinks and friendly atmosphere. They open early for those of you coming off third shift, or still going from the night before.
Come as you are. Friendly staff and patrons. This was our main hangout when we lived in the neighborhood. Still feel just as welcome even though we only stop by every once in awhile.
