Mary was bartending and was so gracious and on top of everything we needed. My guy ordered the barbecue. We actually drove 20 minutes because he was craving this barbecue at this place. The cook was friendly and i heard that he smokes the meat himself!!Very down home feel, like just being part of the Durham landscape. We played pool too which was fun. And even tho I didn't get barbque, my grilled chicken with cheese and veggies really hit the spot as did the margaritas Mary made me with her own special creative splash of a lil something different! Def will be back!

Great food, cheap well maintained pool tables. Great place to watch the game with friends.

Bar is fine but its karoake night and the dj ignored the list for hours to just let a group of friends hop up. Unless you come with a big group dont count on getting a chance to sing, they dont go in order and put in a ton of buffer songs. Might as well just sing along at the club

Don't judge bar by its cover! Got a great burger and service from Luke. Quick service and a great value

Went with friends and played pool amd darts it was very fun! For pool you have to pay for the balls at the bar one time and play as long as you want. For the darts you van play for free and there are other fames around too ☺ very fun

Great hangout for Durham locals. Lots of pool tables and good enough beer list

Went on a Thursday. Wasn't crowded. Had a nice experience. Served food as well. Two pool tables downstairs. Upstairs are a foosball table and an air hockey table, both require quarters to play.

Great place to hang out, meet new people and watch sports. Jason, Tennessee and Megan are the greatest bar tenders!

Great bar for late night fun, events, and watching sports. Good food and drinks backed by a great staff.

Its not terrible but not great. Took a while to get served while it was slow. Food is kind of expensive for being nothing special. Beer selection is ok.
