Tami, Tyler, Bryah and all of the bartenders are tops. The best bar in town. If you haven't been, you are missing out. Tell them Lynne sent you and you'll see the biggest smile from Tami. Football season is the biggest for every team. Screens everywhere - beer garden out back. You just have to go. . Everyone is welcomed .
Love this place! Believe it or not they are LGBTQ Friendly! It is in a odd location, and some people think the crowd is off, but they are all harmless! They have great seltzer options, and yes, it's a smaller kitchen, but the food is really good bar food! Try their pizzas, their deep fried pickles (love the home made sauce BTW), and the clubhouse sandwich. The club house sandwich is a standard one, but many places don't do this one anymore. They do the traditional double stack bread, where most places give you basically a BLT! The bartenders here are extremely friendly, and there is lots of dart boards, ski ball, and pool table!
Just moved to the area, have tried a couple locals bars.. nothing compares to this place, awesome staff, great bar type food and heavy pour... plus pulltabs!!
First time going to a bar in America, and it was an wonderful first experience! Service was quick and Matthew was an amazing bartender. The karaoke was fun to watch and the vibes are impeccable. I live nearby so this will definitely be my go to spot! Sorry for breaking the glasses!
Always a great time with a friendly crowd. Smoking area out back if wanted. Karaoke Friday and Saturday.
Stopped by on a Friday afternoon, been by this place many many times, just never stopped. This is a neighborhood bar, and has a cool vibe. Prices are pretty decent, and the food is pretty good too! Went with a group of people we had the chicken salad that was tossed in a buffalo sauce(not typical of what you’d get from a bar), and blue cheese. This was a delicious salad!!!! Oh and we got the sampler too, had good variety. Will definitely be back. Bar staff was super cool too! Came by last night(7/14) and was helped by Jennifer(I think) who was super super helpful and fun! We had pizza and salad. Both were great. The pizza was DELICIOUS! Seriously… if you haven’t stopped in and experienced the neighborhood bar, you’re missing out! The dirty Sean is great too!
Their flavored whipped cream, chicken wings, and huge soft pretzel with cheese sauce are amazing!! The drinks were great as well. Karaoke was a blast!!
