Hung out with a buddy for a bit for a few beers. Overall a fun time, but the Bartender Todd was probably the most miserable bartender I’ve ever encountered. The second we walk in the door he says something walking past us, both me and my friend didn’t catch it cause it’s loud, he walks over to the bar looking at us rolling his eyes waving his hand over and over so we come over and before we even stop at the bar he just shouts in a pissy tone "I.DS CMON GUYS!" and we get our first round of beers. Whatever maybe he’s just stressed it was busy after all. Then we go over for round 2, I mishear the price of a beer thinking he said $4.25, so I put a $5 on the table. He turns around and once again, in a pissy condescending tone just says "….uggh I said $5.25 man". I called it right there I wasn’t gonna buy anymore just so I wouldn’t have to interact with the dude. What a way to kill a good time by treating your customers like annoyances. I get it, working with drunk people all night must be aggravating, but being rude and uninviting towards people that come to your place to unwind and relax after rough days of their own isn’t any way to deal with that, it just makes you come off as insufferable. So yeah don’t waste your time and money here there’s several better bars that do the bare minimum of being kind to their guests.

This was a heck of fun place. Vibrant and happening, with a down-to-earth and friendly staff and management. A great place to hang out, play pool, or just relax. And the specials and prices are out of this world. Great place for an affordable night out with friends.

This place is the exact definition of a dive bar and exactly what we wanted, great drinks, pool tables, music. The place is perfect, it was my first time going to a bar and my besties 21st and we both absolutely loved it. Todd is amazing! All the reviews made me nervous but the dude rocks! Will definitely be going back! 20$ a round with 3 drinks, and 5 bucks for 6 games of pool, can't really beat that(:

Atmosphere is okay. Very young crowd. With a bunch of amateur drinkers. But these guys don't know how to pour beer you'll see in the picture. They waste so much beer. Like amateur bartenders. They don't set the glass on its edge and pour the beer slow so the foam doesn't overflow instead they just keep pouring it out until there's no foam and they waste at least two or three pints every like 20 minutes. It's got affect your bottom dollar. Back to the place It's a unique place.

Discriminatory towards disabled people. I’ve visited this location on a few occasions and expressed my situation (ARSACS; a balance issue that may cause others to see me as "drunk" despite having no alcohol in my system) and was met with complete lack of empathy and respect. I’ve informed the staff on many occasion of my condition & Jamie has shown zero respect for my disability. I have witnessed her treat other people with no respect (smacking drinks out of their hands). Additionally, I am aware of frequent underage kids being allowed in to the bar. This establishment is concerning on many levels and lacks morals across the board. It is disturbing that they remain in business despite these failures.

Great little dive bar with booths, small bar seating and pool tables. Not a place for families or kids, but a fun stop for adults. Hard working people. Good service.

X wives. It’s a great place and I highly recommend it especially if you’re looking for a "Dive bar" has 5 pool tables plus a nice bar/dining area. I mean this place is goated in my opinion they’ve been in business for over 50+ years? There has to be something they’re doing right. For me it’s their customer service, the bartender with glasses and a nice stache is super honest and friendly, best part of their service is honesty and clarity. I recommend this place a whole lot! Love this place.
