I avoided this place for about 2 years. It looks a bit sketchy as you drive by but it is far from it. The patrons are welcoming and very nice. There are 2 plastic tip dart boards 2 pool tables. 4 Steel tip Dart boards. Pool tournaments on Saturday night be here before 8:30 pm to sign up. As many as 64 entrants. Usually half that. Thursday karaoke 6-? Saturday night is open mic that’s when I sing karaoke but they have poets and drummers and people doing comedy it’s 9-? Putt putt golf video game and silver strikes bowling video game target toss lawn darts bags video game. They have bags on the patio. As you can see from the pics it’s not a dive bar.

Awesome little dive bar, everyone will look at you when you walk in but 10 min. Later someone will be buying you a shot. Bartenders are very attentive and handle the regulars.

If you are looking to get away and relax without the younger crowd, this is the place to get away, too. At first, when you pass by the place, it looks like a scary old biker bar, but once you walk in, it's like the show Cheers. You're greeted by everyone saying hi, welcome in. They have drinks prices that won't break your bank, pool tables, dart bards, karaoke night, and my husband favorite part. This is one of the last bars around that you can still smoke in. So it's your looking to get away and adventures out. I recommend you stop by and grab a drink.
