Had a great time the first night I went. I went back again the next night, and was told I wasn't welcome there, and that I accused the bartender of being in the KKK over the phone after closing??? Not really sure what kind of stunt this is, as I was polite during my time there and even left a descent tip for someone handling all that chaos by herself. I don't know...

Okay....came here for a change of pace. Definitely not the place for a 65 yo. However, food and beer selection were both very good. Minimum food selection, but what a surprise. Burgers were great, fries were a surprise and onion rings were superb. Service is a little strange as you go to the bar and order and watch for your own stuff to come out of kitchen. Weird, but hey....clean, music was loud but not overwhelming. I'd send the kids back and I'd come back if it was closer or I was in the neighborhood.

Great drinks, the bartenders can make any drink, you name it. They also have some cool drinks up thier sleeve. Wonderful open porch to smoke your hearts away and socialize. Live music on Saturday and sometimes Fridays. Amazing ambience. Love going here to drink and relax. 10/10 would recommend??????

Great bar and the live music was fantastic.

Truly awful place. Do not come here if you are a person of color they are extremely discriminatory. I’ve seen myself and had multiple friends share experiences of being harassed and targeted by some of the white staff. Definitely a weird white skinhead space. The bartenders are all rude. Service is awful.

Went for live music had a great time will go back to try the food.

Bad service , unwelcoming bartenders (who hardly ever serve up a drink every time I’ve gone or come to my table to ask my order) a sober house is on top of it and there’s always druggies outside. I’ve given this place a try multiple times because I like the people who go, but every time I’ve either left annoyed or empty handed because I couldn’t even GET service. Even watched the bartender grab a girls wrist and accuse her of having a fake ID when the girl is 25 years old. She threw the ID and was clearly drunk. Never ever going back

Great laid back bar. Bartenders are friendly, service is wonderful, good selection of local/regional beers on tap

Cool neighborhood bar with chill vibe.
