What players say

Great bar, friendly people, 3 pool tables, darts, and boardgames. Good place to chill after work. Patio area is nice for conversations too.

★★★★★ Fritz, Feb 2018

It's a weird little place that allows dogs, with a friendly atmosphere. Every time I go I meet someone new. They do not sell food. Bar snacks are available
