What players say

One of the oldest establishments in Town. Very unpretentious and low key bar where ole school heads would pop in from time to time to play pool. Yes, they have two pool tables, great draft beer selection, and folx are generally chill. Great local dive bar.

★★★★☆ Mr., Mar 2022

This was the spot when the parkway was open next door. After 2008 though there wasn't as many patrons as it used to be. But when the gentrification came to this side of the lake. Surprisingly patronage increases.

★★★★★ Levoy, Jun 2019

If you’re looking for fancy cocktails and exceptional service this isn’t the place, but if your looking for cheap beers, good mix of local folks chopping it up with a couple pool tables this is the spot.
