OMG I simply love this place I had such a great time. The bartenders are amazing they are very knowledgeable of every drink they have ans I was able to sit at a corner table and read my book do my crossword puzzles and still make friends this place is wheelchair accessible it has 2 bathrooms and simply amazing people that come in from the regulars to the newby's. PLEASE STOP AND HAVE A DRINK WITH THEM!!

Really good TL dive bar. None of the worst scrunginess of classic Tenderloin but all of the best neighborhood vibes. Bartenders have been nice each time I've gone in and the music has been on point. Very small spot but a great one for catching up with a couple of good good friends.

It's a very cool small quiet bar that's cheap on the price and drinks are poured very good. Can you get pretty toasted there with three cocktails.. Little hard to find so you definitely need to be paying attention. Great jukebox , you can find any song on that jukebox.

Friendly little place. It's got a lot of history. The new owners paid tribute to the original owner with pictures on the walls. The place has the original wood bar top. They spruced up the walls with a coat of paint. The juxebox plays loudly and the chatter even louder. But this place just feels comfortable. Very nice bartenders too. Stop in before dinner or before a night out. You'll be happy you did.

Easily the best dive bar I've been to in terms of crowd and establishment. 1940s nook with no signage, follow the howls to an open door to the second smallest bar in the city.

I stepped in and asked if they knew somebody who I thought was a regular there. They said they did, but havent seen her in a while. I gave them the sad news. The bartender and all of those that were there were wonderfully welcoming and cordial. The well was fresh and this little nook in the big city has the biggest open door of them all. Havent been there since december of 2019, but wpuld love the chance to frequent again.
