Very cozy place. Everyone is very welcoming. No food here. But restaurants near by you can bring food in to eat.

Fun little dive bar in Allentown. My wife and I were there during the early evening and we enjoyed ourselves and chatted up with the few locals that were there. Apparently it’s a late night hang-out but that’s not our jam.

We've been her 3 time over the course of the last 2 weeks. It's quickly becoming a go to place. Decent beer selection, though not much on tap. Food is simple but hits the spot. Good music and great view of Allen. Bartenders are nice and quick with a shot.

Go to Frizzy’s for a good time if you prefer variety over ordinary…👎 Place is usually dead, bartenders press on customers to provide tip even though they don’t know it’s cash.. sad really There is a certain greedy individual who can’t tell between physical or digital tips in literal dollars either way. To think that the person is in their mid 40s and still has trouble knowing whether being taxed or not can help this individual out🤣 BTW: They have a sing-song, sing-a-long band for anyone to listen to just to drown their sorrows in I had a disappointing experience with one of the staff members, who seemed to expect a certain type of tip and became upset when I didn't meet their expectations. I was surprised by their reaction, especially given their experience in the industry.

If I could give zero stars I would. Overall the staff was nice but the manager or owner, Drew I believe his name is, is unbelievably rude! He argued with some customer who had asked him to wear a mask properly! If you're going to be running any establishment and enforcing CDC guidelines then please do so yourself! My friends and I will not be returning to this place if management treats customers this way!
