Steve, Jenny, and Gen are all great bartenders who are quick to capture the vibe of their patrons and understand how to create a positive atmosphere behind and in front of the bar.
Great little bar. Not much space but they do have a great craft beer selection, as well as most of your regularly expected spirits to be had in a bar. Darts, no pool table, but they do have pull tabs. Nice place for a drink. Bartenders are friendly here.
Great drinks very nice patrons
Friendly local bar always hosting different events the patrons and staff makes everyone feel welcome I always stop by when I'm in the area
Great local bar with plenty of space we go there strictly for the Golden tee arcade game but we always have a good time and it is never too busy I definitely recommend.
Love going there for 7am drinking with my night shift crew! Also has great karaoke most days of the week. Also for extra fun check out the claw machine by the bathrooms. Trust me it's worth a look.
Nice spot and a Fun place! A nice place to sit and chill as I Celebrated a Dear Friends' Birthday!
My local bar, nice and close. They have karaoke I believe about four times a week throughout different times of the week. I recommend purchasing a Bluemotherfuker they're very delicious. I recommend if you are looking for a chill place with friendly faces this is the bar for you. they do not have a kitchen at this time but they do have chips and snacks. Very friendly bartenders. Pinball, darts, videogame, and gambling cards. As well as they have a DJ booth. Outside lounge area for the summer, also indoor smoker friendly.
