What players say

I was in there Sunday night and the Bartender was probably 1 of the top 5 bartenders I have ever witnessed behind the bar. She was great to interact with. Although I don't drink anymore she still made me feel welcome. Most bartenders ignore non drinkers but not this one she always made sure my water glass was full.

Love this place! Dani is an awesome bartender and the tables are nice. I can usually find an empty pool table on almost any given night.

★★★★★ Ocean, Jan 2026

So I’ve been coming to this bar for a few years, I watched it changed ownership and take off to such an amazing venue. The owners are wonderful people and they always make you feel like family. And a major thank you to Courtney, you are an amazing bartender!!

★★★★★ Cris, Jan 2026

The bartenders Jessica, Isabel, and Gabe are phenomenal! They are always tight on top of getting me drinks and super friendly! I’ve become a regular there because I love the great atmosphere and great bartenders! Highly recommend!!
