What players say

Too much testosterone in here for me but the ambiance is nice and the staff is very kind and friendly. The pool tables are a plus

★★★★☆ Alyssa, Dec 2021

Grungy but familiar local bar. Very dark, lit by the lights of the glowing video game and pinball machines in the back. When it picks up, though, there are a few interesting characters. Good beer selection and the owner is friendly and knowledgeable.

★★★★☆ Ernest, Jan 2019
