My husband and I went here for our first time, and we were so pleasantly surprised! If you’re looking for a local bar, you HAVE to check this one out! A full bar, multiple tap options, a delicious menu, billiards, TVs, and a stage with live music. We had a blast! The wings are killer, and I had the special (chop steak with a baked potato, corn, rolls)—we left full and happy. Lots of clean bathrooms for the ladies, too. It is a bit smoky inside, but other than that we had an absolutely great time and we will definitely be back.

Great service heard great things it was just a little slow on Memorial day plan to go back

I've been going here consistently for a year or so now. It's exactly what you want your local bar to be fun, clean, and full of friendly people.Great prices and buckets are 6 beers instead of your typical 5 which is amazing. Food here is always great and has some daily specials that are off the menu.

Great folks and the best music around always. Kitchen is awesome too so check them out. Even have lunch menu.

As far as the place goes? It has a lot to do, nice bar. The employees? Very rude and disrespectful. The bartender told my friend and I we were “fu##ing babies” and then when she asked if we wanted to start a tab we told her no because we weren’t sure how much we had planned on drinking because we weren’t sure when we were leaving, so we would just purchase our drink and if we wanted another one we could just buy another one. She then looked at us like we were crazy and didn’t understand why on earth we wouldn’t start a tab. (It doesn’t matter our reasoning, it’s our money, just don’t start a tab and move on) why even ask if we want to start a tab if no isn’t an option? She then proceeded to not take our cards and sent another bartender over. The second bartender was nicer so that was appreciated. Then another employee brought us food out and looked at both of us and said “all of this just for you two?” Could’ve kept that comment to his self. Then after we finished eating he came back to pick up our empty food trays and asked if we wanted a box for our food, we said yes and he never came back. We ended up just leaving. A really disappointing experience for my friend and I. My friend was from out of town and we hadn’t seen each other in two years. Definitely ruined the experience. I’m not sure if the bartenders we’re having a bad night or what, this place does have good reviews so I’m confused. but we were extremely nice to them and gave them no reason to treat us that way. Even after the rude comments and disrespect we never once got argumentative or difficult. Wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t come back.

Amazing place! Very reasonably priced shots, great prices on beer and good selection, wonderful food, great staff all around. Highly recommend.

My favorite place to go for billiards, great music, and fantastic food. There's a unique atmosphere and good vibe. Everyone is super friendly. Staff work hard and the owners are very likeable.

I liked the atmosphere it was cool and laid back would def come back plus good pool tournament

The BEST bar in Oak Ridge, Tennessee! Also, the greatest place to see & hear the best live music in town.
