What players say

This place is a good hangout spot, for a dive bar. I like that they have two pool tables. The staff there is usually right on point. Some nights they have a burger station out front now. The free popcorn is a plus. I like going on nights when they have the live DJ or a band performing on stage.

★★★★☆ Ben, Jun 2025

Nice little bar with a good verifity of beer and mixed drinks and good price. Loved the bar tender there as she was very friendly and fast to acknowledge me with a warm greeting and smile, LOVED the fact that she had great knowledge on all the beers and mixed drinks/cocktails they served as well as letting me know…

★★★★★ Diona, Sep 2019

Popped up after a long day didn't know a soul there but was not treated like a stranger. Was actuality treated like a regular. Received like 3 free drinks 2 from the bartenders and one from one of the patrons...will go back soon as the weekend comes
